Welcome back! This week we'll officially finish Gatsby and begin our Nature/Environment unit, including a synthesis-style essay about sustainable foods and whether or not they should be part of U.S. policy.
TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Finish the Gatsby movie. Discuss Gatsby questions as a whole class and question #6 in small groups. Introduce the sustainable foods synthesis prompt and begin reading and annotating the sources.
Due:
1. Read the questions and submit an original discussion board post in Turnitin.com for the Independent Reading.
2. Please read your independent reading book, keeping an
eye out for how the messages, style, and characters compare and
contrast with the first semester independent reading book(s). Check last week's homework for a listing for each book and where you should be.
Homework: Finish reading and annotating Source B, C, and D from the sustainable foods synthesis prompt for Thursday.
THURSDAY: Journal warm-up. Quiz. View Source A, Menzel's photo essay from the sustainable foods synthesis packet as a class and view a sample rhetorical analysis essay about it. Discuss all of the possible factors that should be considered and prioritized, and list the stakeholders involved. Read a previous College Board passage that satirizes the typical environmental disagreement.
Due: Finish reading and annotating Source B, C, and D.
Homework: Finish reading and annotating the rest of the sustainable foods sources and outline a detailed response to the prompt. Bring the sources with annotations and your outline for Monday.
