In Class:
We began class by going around the class and sharing a single word from the final vocabulary list before they submitted them. Students then began finishing up the reading and worksheet on the selected passages of Transcendentalism. Students had a chance to present and discuss their readings, key passages, and the connections to Grapes of Wrath. Finally, students were presented the Grapes of Wrath Socratic Seminar Assignment. At Home: Review your GoW annotations and notes for key passages, quotes, etc. to prepare for our Socratic Seminar. Please see the instruction sheet on the thematic ideas we will be discussing in our seminar! In Class:
Students began by wrapping up the poetry explication activity and sharing out insights and connections to the GoW passages. Then, students were given a crash course in Transcendentalism that led into selected readings from Emerson and Thoreau to compare to passages and themes of GoW. At Home: Please read/annotate the final two chapters of GoW (ch 29-30). Also have your GoW independent vocabulary list 4 completed by next class period.
Below are the instructions for your assigned Exodus chapters:
Part one: Act out the chapter in no more than one minute! Characters, setting, plot/conflict should be clear. Your quick performance can blend language from the chapter and your own adaptation--should show meaningful aspects of the chapter! (or a one minute narrative) Part two: Most important quote (or two) of the chapter and why?! Part three: One level two question to pose to the class. Needs to be from a different part of the chapter than your quote. Part four: Level three thinking: Find a comparative element much like we did today with the warm-up: Make one connection outside of the text: photograph, artwork, current event, famous person, news article, meaningful video--you need a visual of this--you can use the Smartboard. |
