Apologies for not getting this posted last night.
9th Grade - Library research day to continue on with the Five Degrees of Separation Project. All groups should have their full histories tracked down, and are now fleshing out details and actually designing Powerpoint presentation.
Expectations - Two slides per generation. One slide should give background information on the artist/poet and explain their accomplishments, and the next slide should explain what influenced the artist, and make connections to the previous generation. The next set of two slides serves the same purpose for the previous generation, and so on until the year 1900.
PROJECT IS DUE AT END OF PERIOD ON FRIDAY, E-MAILED TO mkimmel@tcsd.org.
It is important that your project can stand-alone when it is sent; I should be able to understand the connections made without needing someone to explain each slide.
10th Grade - We are still developing the background information and context needed to understand the themes and issues found in To Kill a Mockingbird. Sophomores had a short research day in the library, focused on filling out a worksheet with questions about the 1930s, and comparing that decade to the 2000s.
Questions included - Who was President? What was the state of the economy? What did people do for entertainment? What was the average level of education? And so on. Worksheet is in class for those that missed today.
