- We started the day with Preposition BINGO. Today's game was different because the students could not refer to a list. They needed to know at least 24 prepositions to fill their BINGO card. We played until we got five winners.
- We then reviewed "Along the Tortilla Curtain" by discussing the questions answered for homework. All classes ended up having great discussions about the pros & cons of illegal immigration.
- We followed that discussion with a brief discussion of minutemen (the 18th century vs. the 21st century versions). This was an introduction to the 30 Days: Immigration video.
- We spent the rest of the period watching "30 Days: Immigration". The students took notes (starting on page 66) about conflict, character, setting, theme, and main ideas.
- Homework: Send me your SS Culminating Project Rough Draft by Friday (via email), Finish 30 Days notes, Read and Take notes on Frank Jorge's letter, get the homework card signed, update and organize your Interactive Notebook to be turned in on Monday and finish the SS Culminating project by Monday Nov. 22.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
