By class time tomorrow the following is due:

1. Reply to reflection post on kidblog--log in from  my blog http://bomber8ela.blogspot.com/ and thoroughly answer and edit your responses to the 3 reflection questions posed in the post.  This should be done in a careful manner as it will be graded for amount of thought that went into the reflection.

Today, we start working toward the final product.  The class will complete THREE tasks during the block:

1. Students will give Mini-Presentations.

2. Students will watch the videos attached to their topics and fill-out sheet (make copy and share with Ms. Carlisto name= angievid/pic).  The big question is --> What 3-5 things were in the video that need to be included in the story to add interest.

3. Students choose their own photo from within their topic.  Then put the photo in the CIVIL RIGHTS GOOGLE SLIDE SHOW .  On the worksheet (linked above) they explain why they chose the NEW photo.  This will require RESEARCHING the PHOTO.

Monday 5/23

                     Monday 5/23

                                   Today will have many layers to it:

First, we will take out our work from Mr. Clark's class Friday.  We will be divided into small reading groups.  Students will read their piece to the small group.  In the reading the listeners will ask themselves -->  Did the writer bring the event and photo alive?  

Elements that should be included in the piece:

  1. Historical facts

  2. Read like a story not a textbook

  3. Important actions and reactions, personal, eyewitness accounts

  4. Integrate the photo when of interest

Judging the reading.  Each listener will judge the piece based on the above criteria.  You will rank the piece 1-5.

    5 - The piece is highly informative and interesting

    4 - The piece is mostly informative and interesting

    3 - The piece was ok but I lost interest at times

    2 - The piece needs work, I was not that interested and possibly confused

    1 - The piece was not complete or completed hastily

The reader will record the feedback on the bottom of the page.  This will be the basis for our final product and is our first run through of what you will create for the culminating project.

Second, students will prepare for Tuesday presentations.  The presentation needs to be 2 minutes (=/- 15 seconds)  You can practice your presentation and assure you have the 24 words organized the way in which aid you in presenting.

          Presentations should:

          1. Tell the story of the event.  "story-like" NOT textbookish

          2. Include key elements from the photo

 3. Integrate historical facts

Third, for the final part of this project students will find a NEW PHOTO from their topic.  A photo that speaks to them and helps them best tell the story of their event.  It will be this photo that is the basis for their final presentation.  The photo needs to be displayed on the Google slide show link below  (Do not complete today--find photo options only):

                       CIVIL RIGHTS GOOGLE SLIDE SHOW

HW Tonight - 1. Prepare to present

                      2. Watch John Green Video and finish worksheet provided

Begin with scenario--you are at  beach with your family you see someone with bolt cutters and a hacksaw at a nice bike that is chained up--what would you do? What about race of person being other than white?

Video

Discuss video

Freedom riders video

Focus on the personal--so often we look at history from an outsider’s perspective--our objective is to get you to be closer to the topic, to understand it from a more personal perspective--how might you have reacted (or wish you could). You can’t do that without knowing a bit about the topic so we are going to have to research and it is best if you choose a topic that interests you or moves you in some way.

Look at photos --choose topic based on the photo you like
