6th: We began class by reflecting on Seedfolks- themes and opinions of the book. Then, we did some mapping practice to warm up for our Mapping the Seedfolks writing project. Ms. D introduced the project and then kids selected the character whose perspective from which they would be writing. Then, we did this activity to have students dive into character, using books and encyclopedias to do background research on the country of our character.
Homework: Finish character background research sheet.
7th: We began the class by talking about what we began on Friday, what we believed the type of government in The Giver to be. Then, Ms. D. taught students the RAP-Q method of summing up text. We worked together to sum up one of these manifestos together and then students broke off into groups to complete the RAP-Q of each manifesto.
Homework: Read chapters 20-23 of the Giver. Complete one active reading activity for each chapter you read.
