- Unit 3: This plan is posted to dropbox. We should be ready to begin in after Election Day, give a day/two. Please look over the standards. Reading is informational focused. Writing is research/informational. We have neglected language. We need to bring the College Readiness standards back in. Chris & Josh, I think you all were working on that year-long plan. The unit plan says verbals, but we have the freedom to work within the first 2-3 bands of the ACT College Readiness Standards. Can we have a plan for the next unit? It is a 6 week unit. We need to plan an extended meeting to meet & discuss this unit so we are ready to go. After school is hard on most of us. Before school Wednesday? Then we can meet Wednesday in PM planning to finish up. Email me if Wednesday AM doesn't work.
- On Demand Test Unit 2 prompts - let me know what you think. I've used the prompt format I saw in the samples. I am looking for a rubric that is more specific than the existing draft versions. Should we let them choose between two prompts, like the test? Or just offer one prompt.
1. Traditions bond families together, linking the present members of the family to the generations before them. Traditions and rituals can happen in happy or sad moments, small get-togethers or grand-scale occasions. Your local newspaper is celebrating stories tradition and wants you to contribute your story. Write about a time when you honored a tradition. Focus on a particular occasion that gives a concrete example of how the tradition was observed.
2. Often when we think of the word 'foreign' we think of being from a different country. However, foreign can refer to anything that is strange or unfamiliar. Often we may feel foreign in a setting we are not used to. It may a different culture, routine, ritual or place that made you feel alien. Write about a story about a time in which you felt like a stranger in a foreign setting. Be sure you are clear as to what the situation was and why you felt out of place.
