eLearning due tomorrow. Be sure you have everything submitted.
-The vocabulary test taken and a perfect score achieved
-The chat questions shared with me
-The on-line chat completed
-The paper that discusses how the theme of the story fits both the story and a poem/song that you have identified
Be sure it is all in my possession and/or completed by tomorrow at the end of class.
We looked at different types of poems today. I'm sorry that the bulb blew out on the projector but we made due with what we had. You should be able to identify the main components of and the key differences between the haiku, the limerick, the ode, the elegy and the free verse. Test yourself now. what do you know about each one?
Would you report family members or close friends to the authorities if they broke the law? That's a question that many Germans had to answer during the time of the Holocaust. What was your response? We were reminded of the short story "Old Glory" that we read at the beginning of the year. Donald, the grandson, had to decide whether or not to turn in his grandfather. He chose to do so and had to live with the consequences.
That was a perfect segue to the book Night by Elie Wiesel that we are going to read this quarter. It's a true story about a young Elie and his struggle during the Holocaust. We did a quick assessment on your knowledge and will use that to guide our upcoming discussion.
Remember to find out what event happened yesterday that shows the relevance of our reading material.
See you soon.
