I apologize for the lack of posts.
This week we have been busy doing lots of work while contending with a changing schedule.
Period 1:
We are finished with A Step from Heaven and have begun Steinbeck's Cannery Row. As a companion project, students will be creating maps of Cannery Row (Abbeville) and of their own communities. These maps will be accompanied by community brochures highlighting key characters or events, and places.
Period 3:
Students will be wrapping up their 3-minute speeches, and we will be doing more community building exercises and confidence builders. This week we are also focusing on listening skills.
Period 5:
Students are workshopping peer essays, and examining their own essays for content and details. Thank you, Ben & Rachel, for sharing your essays with the class.
Period 6:
We are reading Things Fall Apart and exploring the Ibo culture. Students began their topic presentations yesterday and will be finishing today.
