Happy sunny Friday!
Today, students took their quiz on early civilizations and colonization in Latin America. Then, we did some around-the-room center work practicing identifying and classifying linking and action verbs for our quiz on Monday. Finally, we reflected in writing about one a large unit theme:
To oppress means to crush or burden by abuse of power or authority.
-How did the Europeans oppress the indigenous people of Latin America?
-Do you think it was right for the Europeans to treat the indigenous people as they did? Why or why not?
-Why do you think the colonists felt they had power over the natives?
-Are there other instances in history when something like this has happened? When? Where?
-Why do you think people oppress each other?
-What can you do in the face of oppression?
We will begin Monday's class by talking about this journal reflection.
Homework: Count up your reading pages for the week and be prepared to turn in the reading log to show Miss Devine. Study your QUER words for the vocab/spelling quiz on Monday. Study your action/linking verbs for your grammar quiz on Monday.
