Wednesday 10/28

Morning classes had an assembly but students who are not done their videos need to be sure to see us period 5, 6 or 10 to complete their work. Afternoon classes used a period to catch up with video and then reviewed for the test on Friday.

HW:
Be sure you have submitted your final slideshow into Google classroom (note you already submitted one for slides 1-6 but we need a new one that is for the entire slideshow with the script)
PRINT Powerschool grade for English.

Tuesday 10/27

Today we revised our rough draft and typed a final draft in slide #7.  We then recorded and created an imovie, exported it using quicktime and sent it to youtube. The link then was shared to Mr. Clark for his playlist.
Final slideshow that has a perfectly edited script turned into google classroom (assignment=Final Slideshow) due tomorrow.

Please click this link for the necessary instructions for your work in class.

Logs from the week of 10/19-10/26 will now be  10/19-11/2. I will be looking for 150 minutes completed in your IR books (with post its) AND for your time reading for this project to be logged as well.  I will collect those on Monday.

Monday 10/26

1. Are all 4 slides completed?
2. For each word:
1. Is your definition 1-3 words only and from your brain?
2. Is your second box an anecdote (story or a scenario)? NOT a definition.
1. BAD example: If your word was slavery--- I think slavery is when people are forced to work and are controlled by the people forcing them to work. That is wrong.
2. Good Example: An anecdote--An African boy was taken from his tribe and forced to fight with a militia group and to fight in a war. That boy was put into harm’s way and has no way to get out of it because he would be shot.
3. Is your picture (not symbol) contemporary (from your lifetime 2000-2015)?
4. Does your link take us to the website that houses your picture?

3.  As  you look at your slide is it the big idea?  For instance when thinking about the word deprived are you looking at being deprived of candy (little idea) or is it when we are talking about a child being deprived of education or of basic needs (big idea).

PLEASE REVISE IF NEEDED--Will be graded.  

“Turn IN” to Google Classroom by class tomorrow.

Next we will go through the 14th amendment with the objective of getting students to understand the 14th amendment in their own words.

We will go through the 14th amendment calling for words to replace emboldened words so students are familiar with the amendment and we have clarified meanings.

Write rough draft of what does amendment mean to me on paper (NOT on SLide 7)

HW:     1. Revise slideshow and Turn In on Google classroom

2. Finish Rough draft and bring to class tomorrow. On Looseleaf ONLY.

Period 3:
Today we discussed last night's reading by finding instances in the story that caused a strong reaction and discussing those instances with a partner to discover what it really made us realize.  We then took a highlighter to the story and hi-lited instances where Richard Wright's rights were denied despite the fact that 59 years had passed since the abolition of slavery.  I then assigned the writing assignment that needs to be completed and turned into classroom by the end of the day tomorrow.

Period 4: We spent the class discussing ways that Richard Wright's rights were denied despite the fact that 59 years had passed since slavery was ended.

Period 7: We read the rest of "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow"noting times when Richard Wright's rights were denied. Your homework is to complete this assignment and turn it in to classroom by the end of the day tomorrow.
