ENGLISH: After completing our flash cards and Sadlier exercises, students were issued their writing assignment for Unit 15. In this composition, students will be creating their own myths. The instructions for this assignment are on Google Classroom with some options for writing purposes. The image below is the pre-writing strategy we are using for this narrative piece. Students should follow the numbered directions and create a good plan prior to drafting. I anticipate that students may not begin drafting until the later half of tomorrow class. This is fine. It is more essential that students know what they plan to say prior to saying it.
LITERATURE: We read another few chapters in I Am Malala and afterward students were feeling a bit angry about how things were changing for Malala in the mid-2000's Pakistan. They heard about Benazir Bhoutto and how restrictive society became when controlled by radical conservative influences. Many of the strategies used in this place and time mirror what has happened many times over history.
RELIGION: Today's lesson explored the amazing grace that God offers to us unconditionally. This gift is intimately tied to our practice of reconciliation and its four embodiments.
SOCIAL STUDIES: In our second lesson for Ancient Rome, students see how the early governments of Latium and the Etruscan Kings quickly move toward a more democratic model. Due to the relatively late transition to democracy, we can see how this society was influenced by Greece and other neighbors within the Mediterranean. The conflict between the Patriarchs and the Plebians is onewe will look at more closely. Homework for this session is on page 492 #1, 2, 4, 5
