Welcome to fourth quarter!! The week prior to break, we finished our "Teach Me Your Talent" presentations and also had a visit from AHML's youth services department for book talks. Check out the video in the post below for sights and sounds from students sharing their talents and hobbies - what great speaking and listening practice, too!
This week we jumped into The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, one of my personal favorite units. We'll be reading, discussing, and writing about this until Taft comes along. This week our focus was only on the first chapter, and we continued to work on two reading strategies - annotating and paraphrasing. Seeing students learn from each other - while looking back into the text for evidence of their ideas - is something of which I'll never grow tired. Have you ever read The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass? Google the full text online and read it along with us!
