Lesson 37

Students read their personal novels

We discussed more student questions

Students should read up to the middle of page 62

HOMEWORK:

 See yesterday's post for today's quote work (they need to be written on a sheet of paper - any paper will do)- also do the final question on the reading log sheet.

Lesson 36

Students read their personal novels.

We continued working through student discussion questions.

We read Toronto at Dreamer's Rock to the top of page 46.

Homework: 

• Continue your chart work - add Michael, and don't forget page numbers. Do all questions, apart from the final one, on the other side of the sheet.

 

• By Thursday, you will be expected to find 2 quotations (WITH PAGE NUMBERS) for EACH of the time periods discussed in the play (this means a total of 6 + quotations) which indicate with the setting/period is/was like.
  

Lesson 35

 Students read their personal novels.

We discussed a few of the questions students came up with last week.

We continued our work with Toronto at Dreamer's Rock - We read up to page 30

HMWRK - Go back through what we have read so far, and complete what you can on the front of the worksheet, as well as the first three questions on the back.

Lesson 34

 Students finished their group vocabulary discussions, signed out a play and a novel, picked up a worksheet that they should simply pop in their binders for now (no homework - do not do ahead), and we read the play to the top of page 17.

Block 8 also read their personal novels during the book-sign-out process, as it was incredibly inefficient during blk 5.

Lesson 33

 Students worked in their groups to finish their vocabulary posters, and began presenting them to the class.

We will finish presenting them tomorrow, then begin work with the class play.

Lesson 32

 Students read their personal novels

We looked at the impact of inbreeding on European Royalty (in contrast with the clan systems employed by Indigenous peoples of the same era - as a result of yesterday's questions)

We talked about several of the class-generated questions

Students had time to work in their vocabulary groups - they will have 30 more minutes to do so tomorrow, before presenting to the class

Lesson 31

We started class with a check in - students are TIRED

Students wrote anonymous questions related to Indigeneity/Indigenous folks in Canada - We will be using these as a jumping off point for daily conversations.

Students worked on their Dreamer's Rock vocab posters in groups - they will complete the posters tomorrow, and present them on Thursday
