To start off class today, we reviewed parts of speech by completing a Mad Libs worksheet. After that, we discussed themes and ways we can connect stories through themes. Our goal in this course is to build the capacity to link things thematically. I tried to relate central themes to hashtags and used a couple of examples. Students were then put into groups and had to find as many topics/stories/movies as possible to relate to the following themes: injustice, power, friendship, and heroism.
After that, students worked on their first assignment, a letter to me; we also went to the library to get our Sightlines 10 textbooks and copies of Animal Farm.
Reminders:
- Letters will be due Friday, Sept. 11, 2015 ( I will give more class time tomorrow)
