I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing weekend! It's college week this week, and we're fortunate enough to have a high-quality College Center sponsoring a variety of events, including paying for all juniors to take the PSAT on Wednesday.
TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Independent reading activity/check-in. Narrative grades and samples. Introduction to argument: notes - basic guidelines and types of evidence/examples. Read Colin Kaepernick articles in support of and in opposition to his anthem protest and analyze their effectiveness. Discuss and vote. If time: hyperbole notes and activity.
Due: Read your independent reading book(s). Create a quiet space where you're alone, awake and comfortable and read at least 30-50 pages, depending on the length of your particular book choice. We'll check in and talk about your progress.
Homework: Grapes reading through Chapter 20 up to the scene where Jim Casy interacts with the police officer (page 357 in library edition).
(WEDNESDAY - PSAT begins at 7:45 a.m. for all juniors. No English class today, though.)
THURSDAY: Journal warm-up. Quiz. (Period 2, finish Kaepernick articles, vote.) Read portion of The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 20 out loud that include the police as they are depicted in the book. Hyperbole definition and group activity. Actor nomination forms for Grapes of Wrath.
Due: Grapes reading through Chapter 20 up to the scene where Jim Casy interacts with the police officer (page 357 in library edition).
Homework: Please finish Grapes of Wrath Chapter 20 and 21 and have your "Actor nomination form" ready for Monday.
Read and research "Black Lives Matter" and "All Lives Matter": we will debate and discuss these issues (and write our next argument outlines) next week. (No need to bring in articles, just read a variety over the weekend.)
Continue reading your independent reading book. Is there a theme/message developing?
