9th Grade - Both class periods spent today working on the Greek Gods Poster. However, 3rd and 7th hour students worked on different aspects of the project, because of some issues with internet connections during the end of the day.
This means that 3rd hour students have their summaries mostly complete, and spent today working on the visual aspects of their posters. Because 7th hour students were unable to use the internet yesterday, they have already started on the visual aspects, and had today to work on both completing the visual, or finishing the summaries.
HOMEWORK - Finish summaries if not complete.
10th Grade - Sophomores worked on a group review activity for the events thus far in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In groups of three, students were asked to create a sociogram for the major characters thus far in the story - Scout, Jem, Dill, Atticus, Calpurnia, Boo Radley, Miss Maudie, and Miss Caroline.
To clarify - a sociogram is a visual representation of the connections between a social group. There are many ways that students could choose to organize theirs (a web of connections, a timeline+web, an orbital system around a character, etc).
The required information in each sociogram - all major characters represented; quotes/descriptions/passages that explain the connections between characters.
These are graded on three components - clarity (can someone figure this out without a student explaining it?), information (are there quotes and descriptions of each character), accuracy (is the information provided correct?).
HOMEWORK - Read Chapters 10 and 11 for monday; have a good weekend.
Hello Mr Kimmel,
