Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.
Wednesday, 4/25 -- Day 13 of Quarter 4
Right at the bell, I collected from students their WWII unit book preferences sheet. We then began class by applying the comma rules discussed yesterday to a series of sentences, some of which needed commas, and some of which did not. Both the comma rules and the practice exercise are available on Canvas. Next, students discussed at their tables the four comprehension/evaluation questions from Chapters 20-22 of Things Fall Apart. We then watched a video of an interview with the author, Chinua Achebe to understand his purposes in writing this novel and what it has come to mean to those who read it. Both of these perspectives (author's purpose and reader's response) help us to understand and look for the themes in the novel. Finally, students identified which of their annotated significant quotes in Chapters 20-22 exemplified those themes (purposes or responses). Homework: Finish reading the book (chapters 23-25) and annotate for chapter title, vocabulary, and significant quotes.
