Here we are, Tuesday.
6th: We began the class by reading the book, "People," in order to discuss interesting things that we noticed about cultures around the world. From there, we shared the artifacts/pictures we brought from the personal culture of our family. Then, we completed the mapping activity from earlier this week and checked our maps together. Finally, we read chapter 4 from Seedfolks, about Gonzalo.
Homework: Tonight, bring in a picture or draw something that you can glue to your pizza box to represent your personal customs or traditions. Remember customs and traditions are things that you do year after year and have importance to you.
7th: We began the class by forming discussion questions about our reading from The Giver. As a class, we summarized the reading of chapter 4-7 and added to our wall charts big, yet-to-be-answered questions about the book as well as observations about the community, characters and community jobs. Then, we broke off into small discussion groups to discuss the book, guided by the discussion questions we made. Later, we had a full class discussion about what we discussed in small groups. After lunch, we broke off into our Perfect World groups and used these guiding questions to write a description of our perfect world.
Homework: All perfect world stuff is due tomorrow. Be sure to have completed map and written description of community. Keep reading The Giver. Chapters 8-11 and your reading reflection in the reading journal is due on Friday.
