Today, I polled the students and in one class 13 out of the 25 students were sick. This is likely why I'm sick, too. Parents, make sure your students are getting good rest at home, eating healthy and taking their vitamins.
We did more practice with verb phrases, helping verbs and vocabulary. We reviewed Haiti's revolution and wrote a journal from the perspective of Toussaint-Louverture and shared these in class.
Journal topic: Imagine what it would be like to be Toussaint-Louverture before beginning the revolution. What are some of the thoughts that go through your mind? What leads you to act? What are your thoughts as you begin to act? Write a one page journal entry from the perspective of Toussaint-Louverture.
Then, we began reading in groups about Mexico's pursuit of independence, answering questions and creating a timeline of the revolution. If students did not finish the activities in class, they are to do so for homework. Student are also to write another journal for homework.
Homework journal topic: Put yourself in the position of Miguel Hidalgo or Jose Maria Morelos. Describe what it is like to begin and lead the independence revolution. What is is it like to be captured or to fight in the battles? What do you see? Feel? Worry about? Write at least one page.
Homework: Mexican revolution journal entry. Finish helping verb practice sheet. Extra credit= story using this week's vocab words.
