Weekly Preview:
SS7 - We will be finishing our individual topic research and start our presentations in our Japan vs. England Unit. Students have been very engaged in their research and working with their partner in the the other team to build criteria for the presentation. Groups will start three group generated presentations/lessons that will teach calligraphy or brush painting, three famous rulers, and three major contributions. Each of these lessons will be worth 3 points awarded to the winning presentation.
Along the way, I will deliver content on the Plague, the Crusades and Inquisition, the Reformation and the Early Scientific Revolution.
We will start to assemble our art booklets, that will include calligraphy and Japanese brush painting.
LA7 - We are reading Outsiders everyday for the next two weeks. We are also engaged in a District Writing Assessment that will take 2.5 class periods this week. We will write an essay comparing Japan and England on three factors.
We will also finish the year with a set of culminating poetry activities and the last Notebook assessment.
