Students started class with a great discussion on Activity 1.3. If you weren't here, you must have definitions in the margin on SpringBoard page 10 for all 6 terms on the bottom of the page. This means that you have a web for the word culture, your own definition, and then 6 definitions in the margin of the page.
Today, students also selected independent reading books. While you will get specifics on our independent reading assignment tomorrow, right now, the keys of the assignment rely on how the selections align with our unit on "Voices of Modern Culture." For this reason, all of the options have a first person narrator and a strong/specific cultural influence. Many students asked if they could purchase books or use books which you already own. If you would like to do so, please ask me electronically (Twitter, edmodo, or [email protected]). If you weren't here, please check with Mrs. Marshall ([email protected]), our librarian, to select a text. Tell her you are in Mrs. Henson's first period class, and she will help you select a text that matches our unit. There are some great options left!
Final Note: We will talk more about this tomorrow, but obviously, the assignment is designed to be used on a text which you have not already read for a school assignment!
