Today, students chose the topics that they would be writing their myths about and received information sheets about their topics to start them in the writing process. Students took a quiz on interjections and conjunctions and then began to freewrite about their topic from the perspective of an indigenous person. Students need to bring their freewriting to class with them tomorrow and be prepared to share what they have written.
For the second half of the class period today, we had a visit from speakers, Estela and Lourdes, who lived in the Dominican Republic during the Trujillo dictatorship. They talked about their experiences and answered our questions stemming from our reading of Before We Were Free.
Homework: Bring in your freewriting about your myth topic. Reminder: Money for the Australia program is due THIS WEDNESDAY (See posting with letter link to the right)! Bring it in!
