Happy Leap Year Day!
Period 1--AP 30
We continued with our discussion of the Awakening. This was done through a power point lecture with the students discussing on occassion (Although I certainly wish they would discuss more--who would have thought a teacher would want her kids to talk more?!).
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
We finished looking at the K-W-L chart with what we'd learned about racism, discrimination, and segregation. The kids were then put into groups of 5 for them to come up with 5 questions about the novel that they wanted answered. We shared these questions and were just discussing them when the bell rang to end class. This will pave the way for a question paragraph assignment.
Period 3--ELA A 30
We finished correcting our sheet about nations and discrimination in preparation for the novel, April Raintree. We then went to the computer lab for the kids to learn a bit more about Metis culture. They weren't quite finished, so we'll try to finish this up tomorrow.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
This was an enegetic group today. They needed to come up with 5 questions about the novel that they had. Once they accomplished this, they were put into groups to share their questions and possibly answer them. Finally, each group was to come up with 4 questions of the novel that they wanted to have answered. We went through all of the questions together as a class and then I directed them to page 50 in their Resource Booklet that shows them what a question paragraph looks like. This will be their assignment to work on tomorrow.
