The Terror: Catching Up on Work

Welcome Ms. Natheos!
We are heading into a busy final week! 

Goal: Catch up on unfinished work related to "The Terror"

Agenda: 
Journal
Comic Strips
Exploring the Depths

1. Journal 
Explain this statement from the TED Talk we watched on Friday: "In order to overcome our fear, we have to name it and reject it."

2. FINISH your Comic Strips 
  • You already started creating your comic strip last week. Today is your absolute final day to catch up. 
  • Most of you are working on Storyboard That or drawing by hand. 
  • REMINDER: Your comic strip should include:
    • All 5 plot elements
    • Junot's physical state
    • Junot's emotional state
    • How Junot changes over the course of the story
Here is how your comic strip will be graded:


*If you are creating a digital comic strip, you must submit it to Google Classroom as a photo or PDF file. Download the file to your computer and click "add or create" to submit your work. You may need to just screenshot your comics. Ask someone in class who already completed theirs to help you.*

4. Reflection Paragraph 
  • There is an assignment in Google Classroom under Performance Tasks called "Reflection Paragraph: The Terror." 
  • This goes along with your comic strip. 
  • Please read the directions and complete the paragraph today.
5. Exploring the Depths 
  • There are questions to answer in Google Classroom from "Exploring the Depths." 
  • Please complete these when you are finished with your comic strip and reflection paragraph.
If you've finished everything, check these assignments: 
Reminders: 
  • Tomorrow you will share your comic strips with the class. 
  • Be ready to present your work! We are excited to hear from you. 
  • We will also be starting a new "text" tomorrow so come ready to learn.
I will be back tomorrow! Have a great day!
