Last week, we read two more short stories - "Thank You Ma'am" by Langston Hughes, and "The Miracle Worker" (Act 1) about Anne Sullivan. We briefly reviewed conflict, setting, characters, and reading "signposts." Then third quarter hit. It's time to do something different and give students more control...
Students this week were introduced to an independent study short story unit. They'll have a choice of six stories (from 12). They will then share their notes and understandings with Mrs. Rehberger or me before they choose an activity (out of 18) for each story. Students and teachers are learning what Schoology can do, as this time the classroom resources and assignments are directly connected to Schoology. All of our resources are on one document - check it out here! Below are our detailed notes from the past two weeks - along with further reading for you and your middle school child.
Thank you for reaching out when you have questions or concerns!
