Investigating Baca's Background

Goal: Answer questions based on Baca's text and video interview; begin searching for figurative language in the text

Agenda: 
Journal
Finish NTW Questions
EdPuzzle Video + Questions

1. Journal 
How did yesterday's class go? Describe in detail.

2. Finish Navigating the Waters Questions 
  • You were supposed to begin these yesterday, but very few made progress so we need to talk about this. 
  • There are questions in Google Classroom called "Navigating the Waters: Coming into Language" 
  • One of the questions asks for text evidence. Remember, this means you should use the RACE Format 
    • Restate the Question 
    • Answer the Question 
    • Cite Evidence (Baca writes, "____")
    • Explain Evidence (This quote shows _____)
3. EdPuzzle Video
  • Also linked in Google Classroom is an EdPuzzle video for you to watch and answer questions about.
  • You must choose the "Sign in with Google" option and use your stu.sandi.net account to log in 
  • Watch the video I've posted and answer the questions that come up when the video pauses
  • You should use headphones to do this (your Airpods can connect to the Chromebook too) 
4. Finished? 
Begin the search for figurative language in Baca's piece. We are specifically looking for similes and metaphors. Highlight any description that qualifies as a simile or metaphor:
