Today in Humanities, students voted and selected the cover for their class magazine. Miss Devine collected the vocab work for the week and rescheduled the vocab quiz for Monday.
We summarized what we had been reading with the substitute in I Promised I Would Tell and caught everyone up to chapter five. We reflected on what we thought would happen in this chapter by making predictions using a graphic organizer. We read chapter 5 together and in small groups, completing the prediction/outcome chart. After reading, students reflected on the roles played in the chapter. Students reflected on the following:
A bystander is an individual or institution who is aware of the victimization of others and chooses to do nothing. An upstander is an individual or institution that, recognizing the victimization of others, chooses to act on their behalf.
-Who acts as a bystander and who acts as an upstander in this chapter?
-Is Sonia's writing of her memoir an important act in history? Why or why not?
=Is Sonia acting as a bystander or as an upstander in writing her memoir? Why?
Homework: Students need to read chapter 6 in I Promised I Would Tell and be aware that there will be a quiz over this reading tomorrow! Don't forget to bring permission forms and $5 for the field trip to the Bremen next Tuesday!
