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.
Friday, 4/20 -- Day 10 of Quarter 4
We started class with an overview of the next 5 words on Vocabulary List 2 from Things Fall Apart. Next, we watched John Green's Crash Course Literature video on Things Fall Apart Part 1 (see below). From that, we identified several main ideas (themes) that tie together the events of Okonkwo's life and the story of his community, Umuofia. The final main idea is what Green calls "the failure of human beings to see others as human beings." This idea of "inhumanity" is the focus of our upcoming research project, so I then gave everyone an introduction handout on the research project that they will complete for homework this weekend. For the final 30 minutes of class, students had time to work on the individual projects from Part I of Things Fall Apart (due at the end of class), read and annotate chapters 18-19 in Part 2 (due Monday), or work on the "Man's Inhumanity to Man" handout (due Monday). Homework: Read/annotate chapters 18-19 to complete Part 2 of Things Fall Apart. Quiz on Part 2 with List 2 vocabulary is on Tuesday. Answer the questions on "Man's Inhumanity to Man" handout and preview/select top 3 research topics from the list provided.
