Tuesday-Thursday, September 6-8, 2016
A misunderstanding in directions left for the substitute for Mr. Stone on Tuesday resulted in students having a study period on Tuesday and no homework for Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday students read most of Grace Ogot's short story "The Rain Came" in class.
Homework: Finish reading Ogot's story and complete a three-by-five index card to prepare for Thursday's discussion of Ogot's story.
On the unlined side of the card, students should write their first and last names, the number 4, and "The Rain Came."
On the lined side of the card, students should identify a passage they think relates to one of the three big ideas described in the introduction to the African Unit in the text book.
(Be sure use quotation marks to begin your selected example, use ellipsis marks to indicate the middle portion of the passage which you will omit for brevity, the ending few words of the selected passage, a closing set of quotation marks, an opening parentheses, the page number where the passage selected was located, and a closing set of parentheses followed by a period.)
Students should then state which of the three big ideas they think their selected passage best illustrates and fill out the rest of the lined side of the index card with an explanation of how this passage illustrates the selected big idea.
Students will use their prepared index to participate in discussion in class on Thursday, September 8th.
