May 9 - Personal Challenge Essay - Walters
in progress





(double-sided half-sheet)















==May2-6/3b/Purdum==

4-18 to 4-22 -- Irelan


Monday's content objective: You will understand literary terms of drama by using note-taking techniques to record salient information. (5.c)


 * For Tuesday. [[file:Brief biography of August Wilson.doc]]**

[] excellent but long interview with Wilson fom Bill Moyers The questions that come with it are marked with approximate times. If you have time, I would have them watch the whole thing. If not, chunk it, either from the beginning or from 7:55 in or so. The beginning section is about Wilson's views of the state of black identity as compared to the situations of other minorities in this country. From 7:55 they begin a conversation of Wilson's "identity" and his depictions of the African-American 20th century saga.
 * Video clips for Tuesday.**

[] Negro Leagues history clip, oddly set to a U2 song, but has a nice link between jazz and baseball
 * For Tuesday. I moved this up from Heather's post.** [[file:life challenge essay requirements.doc]]I'm fine with this, but if you use it, please remember to substitute in your name.

For Tuesday or Wednesday: Could be used as warm-up discussion or as pre-reading homework Essay by Gloria Naylor for Wednesday (or Tuesday if you're daring!)

Character charts--not necessarily for this week, but I plan on giving out one for each main character and having the kids use them as a unifying resource for the essay.

Fences (Tentative) Reading Plan and Life Challenge Essay




3B 21 - 25 March
Here are my plans for the week of the 21st of March. I'm posting them far ahead of time so that, if necessary, you can adapt them for your classroom. Let me know if you have any questions -- Heather

3B 14 - 18 March -- Irelan
I refer to "essential questions" in here, but they aren't general enough to be essential. Consider them thought-provoking instead. Please read the Closure section for info about homework, etc.

[[file:CausesEffects flow chart.doc]]This could be used to analyze events, or character actions/decisions wherever you are in the novel.


There are lots of questions here for you to pick and choose from to use during class Wed-Fri. They cover material from the whole novel, although most come from chapters 4-8. Most of them have page numbers attached. I tried to focus on cause and effect in the questions, with some success. I wanted you to be able to choose which you thought were most valuable to your class based on where you are. I didn't specify one particular question from here to serve as the prompt for the SCR on Friday, so you'll have to choose that as well. I will probably use the rest of the questions as a make-up or extra credit assignment. ==

I am especially fond of these pieces, re: the matching charts for people/symbols, color/symbols/weather motifs and geography motifs. Please note the sample cause effect essay.==

February 28 - March 4 - Walters

No powerpoint, sorry, but for the intents and purposes of the lesson, it seemed overkill, since all they really need to know about her is her "idyllic" upbringing in Eatonville and how that contributed to her different perspective on racial discrimination.====== OK, I lied. Here is a short powerpoint on her, but you should pull some additional information about Eatonville from the doc above.

**Social Issues essay requirements**
This is a take on Heather's document, but I made changes to include expanding the topics to other issues of the early 1900s that influenced or are represented in the HR poetry, etc. I added a "due date" column to the assignment chart. PLEASE look at this before printing as I wasn't sure if everyone would want to include the signature section or different assignments, so not everything matches up (points, etc.)
