Did you make it out of the "escape room of banned books?" I hope you learned today that books are banned all over the world everyday for many different reasons.
Reminder: Vocab check chapters 3 &4 tomorrow and Reading check chapters 1 - 4 tomorrow. I will be available tomorrow morning if you have questions or want to study. I am attaching the link to chapters 3 & 4 vocabulary on quizlett. I would study and know how to use the words in a sentence. https://quizlet.com/261993957/periods-3-4-5-ch-3-4-vocab-flash-cards/ Today, we reviewed and discussed the first four chapters of TBOTWB. I am attaching the link to the vocabulary on quizlett. If you did not have your reading log today, you need to turn it in tomorrow, or you will have a working lunch until it is completed. Reminder: you have a reading check over chapter 1 - 4 on Wednesday and a vocab check over chapter 3 & 4 vocab.
quizlet.com/261993957/periods-3-4-5-ch-3-4-vocab-flash-cards/ We made it through an entire 5 days of school without a weather event, amazing.
This is a blog about reminders: 1. Don't lose your graphic organizer from career day; you will need to turn it in to your LA teacher on Monday for a Speaking/Listening grade. 2. You are to have read through chapter 4 of BOTWB by class on Monday, 1/29. Be ready to start chapter 5. 3. Your reading log is due on Monday, 1/29 -- BOTH SIDES. 4. Write down any questions you have about the book, so you can put them on the question/discussion parking lot on Monday. 5. Reading Check over Ch. 1 - 4 on Wednesday, 1/31 and Vocab Check over Ch. 3 & 4 on Wednesday too. Today you took the Vocab check for chapters 1 & 2. We will have career day tomorrow, so you do not need to bring your BOTWB to class. Don't forget that your reading log for chapters 1 - 4 is due on Monday, 1/29. Also, if you have any questions about the book, be sure to write those on a piece of paper because we will have a "question parking lot" open when you come to class. Your next check will be a reading check over chapter 1 - 4 and a vocab check for chapter 3 and 4.
Good Afternoon,
Don't forget there is a quiz for chapter 1 & 2 vocabulary tomorrow. I will post the link to quizlet at the bottom. Also, we will finish you written response for the banned book article from WWII. https://quizlet.com/260243706/periods-3-4-5-tbotwb-vocab-ch-1-2-flash-cards/ Continue reading chapters 1 - 4 and working on your reading log. Reminder your log is due on Monday, 1/29. As you are reading, if you have any questions about the book, write them down and we will discuss on Monday, 1/29.
Vocab check over Chapter 1 & 2 on Thursday, 1/25 If you missed either of the videos from the last two days, here are the links. The first link is from today's video. www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/famoushistoricalfigures/adolfhitler/ www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/worldhistory/holocaust/ Okay, we are finally back at school and started on the first 5 day week since before Christmas. We started The Boy on the Wooden Box (TBOTWB) today. There is going to be a slight change in the due date of your Reading Log for Chapters 1 - 4. After talking to Mrs. Burlock during planning, we decided that it would be best if you had your Reading Log completed and ready to turn-in by Monday, 1/29. We have some other activities planned that will be easier if you are finished reading. The reading check will still be on Wednesday, 1/31. However you will have a vocab check for chapters 1 & 2 on Thursday, 1/25. It would be helpful if you have finished chapters 1 & 2 by Wednesday, 1/24.
Remember the vocabulary is on quizlet. Here is the link for you: quizlet.com/260137385/tbotwb-ch-1-4-vocabulary-flash-cards/ quizlet.com/_4avnah
I hope you are enjoying your snow day. I am attaching a link to the vocabulary for the first four chapters of The Boy on the Wooden Box. We will be working with this for the next few days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDCSxe1AC6o
Good afternoon Snow Watchers, In class today, you viewed the video of the Michael Gruenbaum interview based on the book Somewhere There is Still a Sun. You were given a Venn diagram and asked to use that to organize your thoughts to write one - two paragraphs comparing and contrasting Gruenbaum's life in Terezin to Raja's life in Terezin. Your paper is due tomorrow. If you are someone whose handwriting is questionable, please type your paper. You can send it to me via email, and it can be printed here at school. If you need to view the video of I Never Saw Another Butterfly, I have attached the link for it at the top of this post. The Gruenbaum Video was too big of a file to load, sorry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDCSxe1AC6o
Happy 3 day weekend. Today, we finished or nearly finished the video of the play I Never Saw Another Butterfly . You should have taken notes that fit into one of the following 6 categories: Day-to-day life, family/friends, who survived, living conditions, types of resistance, and if Raja survived and how. Tuesday we will watch the interview of Michael Gruenbaum, so you can complete the Compare/Contrast assignment. If you missed some of the butterfly video or you want to watch it again to make sure you got everything, I have attached a link to the video up above. Make sure you have your Boy on the Wooden Box book. We will start reading next week. Have a good weekend. |
