Unit Two Point Five
Our primary focus has been on finishing the sub-culture project and presenting them to the class. There was a vocab quiz on 8/18 and there will be another one on 8/25. No new words were given on Monday 8/21, so the quiz on the 25th will be on ALL 20 words from unit 6 over usage: sentences and examples. There will not be any definitions on the quiz. We had a great eclipse day on the 21st and now that presentations are finished, we are starting to shift our focus from answering "What is cultural identity?" to the emotions associated with culture. A synthesis chart 2.0 is helping organize our thoughts on the past four pieces of literature and will help us keep organized when reading the next three pieces. Currently we are reading "By Any Other Name" as well as practicing CEI form writing. (Students will have notes in their notebooks about two types of lead-ins to use with their evidence/ quotes from the text along with what information is to be included in their interpretation.) They will have submitted one CEI paragraph answering "What is cultural identity?" by the end of the week. These will not be graded but they will receive specific feedback on their writing before we begin the final assessments for this unit. *hint* one of the two assessments will be a written piece.
