Goal: Finish our performance task for "The Danger of a Single Story"Agenda:
1. Journal
2. Performance Task
3. Peer Feedback
4. Check Yourself
5. Tomorrow's Reading
1. Journal
How was your weekend? Write about it.
2. Performance Task
- Last week we underlined the different types of evidence Adichie uses in our copies of the text
- Personal Anecdote = PA
- Hypothetical = H
- Commonly Held Belief = CHB
- Pull out the blank version of the graphic organizer (main idea, claims, evidence)
- I will help get you started with the second section of evidence, but your job is to find the claims that come from those pieces of evidence.
- We are going to give our peers feedback on their performance task using sticky notes.
- Write down:
- 1 thing they did well
- 1 thing they can do to improve
4. Check Yourself:
Here are some things you want to make sure are finished from this text (we're moving on to another text tomorrow):
- The green main idea/evidence document (on paper in your binder)
- The paraphrasing section of your text copy (the right column)
- The SOAPSTone form we completed last Wednesday
- The Google Classroom assignment, "Navigating the Waters: The Danger of a Single Story"
- The Google Classroom assignment, "Exploring the Depths: The Danger of a Single Story" (p. 3)
5. Preview Tomorrow's Reading
Tomorrow we're reading a complex piece that took place in the early 1900s (but was written about later). I want you to Google the following words, phrases, and questions and find out what they have in COMMON:
- Marie Curie
- What did women do during World War 1?
- Grace Fryer
- Undark
Let's make a KWL chart for this time period (in your journal):
- Check out the classroom library. We have lots of great books and if you need a recommendation I can help you out!
- A few grades are already in Powerschool. Make sure your work reflects the AMAZING potential you have!
