Welcome to the last curriculum unit of the year! "Speak" has been chosen to be our last piece of literature this year for many reasons. It's relate-able, it addresses very real topics, it drives classroom discussions and allows for students to realize they aren't the same student that walked into TMS on September 1, 2015.
1) Survey Handout & Journal Entry
2) Discussion about "resilience" and "survival". (Both are themes found in the book.)
3) Foreward is read to the students - books are handed out.
Homework: Read pages 1-24 (up to Burrow). Come to Monday's class with one deep thinking questions (a question that lends itself to discussion, YES or NO answer questions are not allowed, and make a connection, either a text to self - text to text- or text to world, to what you've read so far)
LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR MONDAY DISCUSSION!!
