Tues. Jan 3
We reviewed classroom expectations. We talked about how we are going to be doing book reports. Requirements are found here. We read from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. We then answered questions #1-6 about this. It is found on page 143-149 of the Collections textbook. We also talked about the form of constructed response. Restate, Answer the question, Cite evidience, Explain/Elaborate, and Summarize (RACES method) Weds. Jan. 4 We read "My Friend Douglass" and completed the activities that went with it. The last short response question needed to be answered with the RACES method for constructd response. Thurs. Jan 5 We talked about the background knowledge of the Underground Railroad. We watched a short clip about who Harriet Tubman was, and then read "From Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railworad." As we wrote we created a chart with evidence. Each topic needed 3-4 examples from the text. Harriet Thinks Harriet Does Harriet Says What others Think/Say about Her Afterwards, using the evidence we collected the students wrote a 2-3 constructed response answering the following questions: What kind of person was Harriet Tubman? What Qualities led others to turst her as a leader? Fri. Jan. 6 We did a Harriet Tubman Webhunt. The students had to write the answers to each question found on this website on either google docs or on a piece of paper. Each answer should be about a paragraph, using RACES method. We talked about what allusion and symbols are in relation to "Go Down Moses," the slave song. We did the constructed response together, and talked about how to do a 2 paragraph response together.
