Week of 4/20 Session B
Post date: Apr 22, 2020 12:10:49 PM
Welcome back to our distance learning. All students were sent home with their Springboard books but also all hard copies will be attached to lessons to either print off, fill out online, or do on your own paper. Below we always list previous assignments in a check list to either keep until we return to hand in, take a picture of it and email or send via remind, or just email or share it to me. Please keep in mind that when sharing from your One Drive always have your name, date, and period at the top of the document so we can see to whom it belongs when we open it up or print it off.
In order to keep your Lexile and reading comprehension sharp make sure you are doing 30 mins of Reading Plus five days a week. We will be checking that lessons are being completed. Site Code = rpgriff1 & User name and password are your student number.
It is really important that students attempt to keep up with their Reading Plus and writing from this ELA class. If your student has not been keeping up please contact us as soon as possible so we can make sure he/she doesn't get behind.
How to access your One Drive from home:

Work Period: Poetry Flip Book Page 3
Write two Haikus. A poem of three lines with the 1st line containing 5 syllables, 2nd line containing 7 syllables, and the 3rd line containing 5 syllables. This poem is about nature, traditionally, but your two poems can be about whatever you want and do not have to Rhyme.
Helpful Videos:
This video is one of the best I have seen to understand Haiku and where it comes from with an example poem to examine.

Here is a funny and also very important reminder about what is a syllable. You will definitely need this video for next week when we cover Sonnets and counting syllables becomes even more complicated.

Closer: TED Talks to Think about
Watch the video and do a quick write about what you learned in the talk. During the summers, I often spend some time trying to find TED talks that make me think about my world and challenge me in how I look at the world and approach problems. In this time, we have time to reflect so when we leave our isolation, and we will, perhaps these talks will help you go back out into the world with new perspectives.
The power of a little poem and recognizing the little moments throughout your day. As we are learning about the Haiku, what are the ordinary moments in your day that you take notice of and can use as your haiku?
