Another whirlwind week, and this one only four days!
Reminder: If you would like to make a small contribution to our classroom, we have a DonorsChoose Project up to get a class subscription to the New York Times "Upfront Magazine." Here is the link to check out our project: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/putting-scholarship-upfront/2162305/?rf=link-siteshare-2016-09-teacher-teacher_245243&challengeid=61610
So far this week we have:
9th: Read I am Malala and completed 4 Dialectic Journals (2 in period 4) to find quotes and write thoughtful, 4-6 sentence responses, following the directions on the gold paper in your Writer's Notebook. Please reread directions to ensure your work is top quality.
We partnered with fellow scholars to write "Somebody/Wanted/But/So" summaries of Malala chapters that we will share on Tuesday to review and discuss the book.
10th: Read 1984 and completed 2 Dialectic Journals to find quotes and write thoughtful, 4-6 sentence responses, following the directions on the white paper in your Writer's Notebook. Please reread directions to ensure your work is top quality.
We partnered to chose key passages for a reader's theater of 1984. We heard one example today and will do the rest on Tuesday.
10th Grade: Read to 105 in 1984.
HW for all: Complete your Future Map Brainstorm with three columns about your Past/Present/Future where you brainstorm Goals/Passions/Challenges, or anything else, all leading toward those Future hopes and dreams that you wrote about in last week's "Wild and Precious" Visioning assignment. We are using this brainstorm to create a roadmap toward the future we want for ourselves, and to start seeing how education plays a big role in our journey.
Most classes have started their class blogs and they will be live next week.
