2Black on Monday April 4, 2016 and 2Green on Tuesday April 5, 2016
We:
- discussed the "flip-flop" of our 3rd and 4th units, in relation to April Break
- both classes voted for reading Into the Wild a chunk at a time, with the Springboard textbook instead of reading the whole book over break
- finished the discussion / analysis of the quotes in Activity 3.4 - Independent Reading: Newspapers
- 2Green conducted two spontaneous research expeditions: one about "The Panama Papers" and one about Colin Woodard
- 2Black had a discussion regarding the "Before Reading" question in Activity 3.5 - The Newspaper Debate (2Green will do this as homework)
Homework for 2Black, 2Green & 4Green:
- 2Green: do the "Before Reading" for Activity 3.5 as a QuickWrite
- Everyone: read and annotate Activity 3.5
- Everyone: start your "ten minutes of news every day" work. The only days you may skip are Fridays and Saturdays, as well as the night before SATs (4/11/16) and the night of SATs.
All the dates that are due up to April Break are:
April 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 13th, and 14th - YES! Even the days you don't see me. Gotta love them Interwebs! :)
The link, below, is for the Ten Minutes of News Every Day form. Easy peasy, yo.
