Thursday, February 12

Norup International Students were AMAZING yesterday during our field trip to see Selma- we were extremely proud! We would like to thank everyone who helped to organize the trip, as well as the Berkley School District for supporting this opportunity.

Science: Took the Electricity Quiz, followed by a discussion of the movie Selma and a visible thinking exercise where students were asked to "Step Inside" the role of a character or object and to imagine themselves inside that point of view. Students were given the choice to "Step Inside" the following characters from the film: Annie Lee Cooper, James Reeb, Viola Gregg Liuzzo or the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Geometry: Took the Unit 5 test. No homework over break!

ELA: Students reviewed their sticky notes regarding their reading of To Kill a Mockingbird. The goal was to find as many pieces of evidence showing Harper Lee's use of author's craft as possible. Students then contemplated what Harper Lee's goal for using each sticky noted author's craft move. When we return from break all students should have the book read and have an idea as to whether they will focus on one move or technique of author's craft or if they will focus on a goal. The students have charts from Day 5 of this Reader's Workshop that show the different techniques and goals.
