Quarter 1 ended today! The students did a great job finishing up Esperanza Rising this week. We discussed some of the figurative language that was woven throughout the book and character reactions to some of the most important events.
While we are finished with the book, students will be completing end of novel projects and performance tasks the next 2 weeks. On Monday, they will be introduced to their choice board projects- they will be choosing one historical topic to research and one novel project to complete (2 projects total). All directions will be posted in Google Classroom on Monday. Students will have a graphic organizer worksheet for the historical research. I will provide small posters for the historical project. The performance task for this module is creating an original monologue from the perspective of one of our characters in Esperanza Rising. Students will be assigned a small group and an event from the book. Each person in the group will then create an individual monologue for a character that is involved in that event and capture their point of view. Other updates: * Greek and Latin 2 Test Wednesday * We will begin our next grammar unit- Titles of Work
