- The students presented their Self & Society Poems to the class.
- I then passed out the Culminating Project Packet. We spent some time looking through it. I explained the organization, the introduction, the Letter of Intent and the Service Organizations. I encouraged the students to not only have a parent sign it, but to show them the entire packet as well.
- I also passed out the Prejudice Calendar for this week and we discussed the events that will take place on Friday: QUIZ: Vocabulary & Spelling #17-18, Poetry Recitations (of an original poem), the Found Poem is Due, and we will share food.
- Then I passed out the Prejudice Packet. On the first page the students were asked to brainstorm everything they may know about the Civil Rights Movement and the Harlem Renaissance. We discussed their ideas briefly.
- I then introduced the simile poster assignment (Prejudice Packet Page 4). This will be completed for homework
- The students spent the rest of the period answering questions about prejudice in general.
- Homework: Work on the Found Poem (DUE Friday), Sign the Letter of Intent & have a parent sign the Parental Consent, Finish the Simile Poster.
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.
