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.
At the beginning of class, I collected the research introductory handout where students told me their preferences for topic assignment. I will create groups and we will get started on the research next week. Next, I talked briefly about our next handout -- options for a book to read for our WWII/Inhumanity to Man unit. Students need to read about those options and rank their choices by Wednesday of this week. I will assign those books to students by Friday, and they will be responsible for getting/borrowing a copy in about a week.
We then reviewed vocabulary words 11-15 on our 2nd list from Things Fall Apart. Tomorrow students will take a quiz on Part 2 of the novel, and they will need to use vocabulary words from the list in their responses to questions about the main ideas from each chapter. After vocabulary, students worked in their groups to answer questions and share information about the six chapters in Part 2. These questions are very similar to the quiz questions about the main ideas in each chapter of Part 2. Students can continue to review these questions tonight to prepare for the quiz AND plan for which vocabulary words most logically connect to those main ideas (2 per chapter). Homework: Prepare for Part 2 quiz: Complete chapter titles on handout to use during the quiz. Connect vocabulary words to main concepts in each chapter. Study those definitions and be able to answer questions from today's discussion groups. ** Complete ranking of WWII literature circle options to turn in on Wednesday.
