Tuesday, May 5, 2015

Today we read three poems from survivors.   We created a Journey entry in our purple journal as we examined the form of the poems and the meaning.  We modeled several ways of presenting poems for our Poetry Groups.

Princeton & Harvard:  read the Epilogue together and watched part of the movie "Confessions of a Hitler Youth."  This can be found on Youtube if students want to finish watching the 1/2 hour video.

Yale: created a short write on Chapters 20 & 21;  tonight they will read Chapter 22 and the Epilogue and complete a Think & Note


ALL: Poetry groups met for final planning for presentations beginning Wednesday.


HOMEWORK:

Study for test on Parallel Journeys #18-22
Simple Solutions #73
Yale: read 22 & Epilogue, Think & Note
Princeton/Harvard:  study for Sadlier quiz (4)

continue review exercises on Compass Learning, Prepdogs, etc.
