8/11-9/11 Unit 0 Agenda
Here is my DAILY AGENDA :)
Week of 11/9 - 11/13: We have officially finished Unit 1, our study of Dahl's memoirBoy, and the students' writing of their Anchorage Narratives! I am so proud of all of the hard work they put into our first unit. They also finished their first trimester Great Reading Project. The creativity I saw from some of their visuals blew. me. away.
This week, we start Unit 2 which focuses on Informational Reading/Writing through the lens of studying the Yellow Fever epidemic. The students will read various articles, make connections, and focus on what makes for good evidence and "proof."
Additionally, the students will be introduced to our 2nd Trimester Great Reading Project. The big question for this trimester is: How does reading give a VOICE to people whose stories and experiences might otherwise go unheard? The students must read 3 new books this trimesters in 3 genres they haven't read yet (they can check their Reading Logs on Google Classroom to find what they still need to read). They will use quotes from these books to write a script for a podcast (that they can do as partners) that they will record for this trimester's project. This will be due at the end of Trimester 2 in February.
Our grammar focus this week is Run-Ons, Fragments, and Complete Sentences on IXL. These are due Friday.
