Tuesday 11/26

Use this next 5 minutes to tell the story of your topic to one another. There should be a listening partner and a note-taking partner to begin. Partners should have a sheet of paper out and take notes on the story as it is being told. Switch roles and now the new partner tells the story and the listening partner fills in any new information from the new partner on the sheet of paper.

Now get a computer:
Open to your "musical workspace" and identify what you missed in the retelling of your story.
Use the next 10-15 minutes to look over your notes and article to make sure you have the story of your topic down and to be sure you can answer the questions asked on the document  CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?

Now we will assign question numbers that need to be answered individually. Each partner will get 2 questions s/he is responsible to answer. Students who are working individually will need to answer 2 assigned questions. All answers will be recorded on this flipgrid. Please read the question then provide the answer to the question.Notes are not allowed, this is all from your knowledge of your topic. Include as much detail as you can in your response.FLIPGRID LINK

FLOWER

The glistening dewdrops on the slowly fading green leaves of the once brilliantly red geranium in my yard made me sad. Sad because summer, its warmth, its sunshine, its long days  and soft breezes were coming to an end. The deep red of the geranium flower has faded to a dull brown. The once thick green stock of the plant transformed into a woody brown stem. The kelly green leaves fading to a yellowish brown make my heart ache for one more cup of hot black coffee with the rising sun and a book in my hands.

                              SEE                   THINK                            WONDER

The smile is contagious as he hugs his favorite tree that pokes through the labyrinth of lusciously green and vibrant boxwood below. The coarse bark brushes his soft cheek, the apple blossom’s sweetness
permeates the air and his giggles warm her heart. She wonders if he will claim these days of scampering
in low hanging branches, brushing aside airy light pink blossoms humming with bees collecting pollen
and clutching a favorite branch as happy childhood memories. The bent branches, the perfectly
imperfect bones of the blossoming apple tree, the endlessly blue sky and the laughing child are etched i
n her memory. The songs of the robins, the smell of freshly mown grass and the happiness of carefree
summer days will always bring her back to this moment when all was right in the world.

Here is the THINK SEE WONDER handout.

Browse through the 39 photos in the FLICKR.  Determine which of the photos INTRIGUE you the most.
 Make a TOP THREE list. (3 minutes)

Now pare that down to a single photo that you find compelling.
We are going to ask you to get creative with sensory details so it really should be a photo that
makes you think. (2 minutes)

This handout requires a full page of writing in addition to the completion of
the table.

Now let's look at an example of the rest of the handout:

Complete table and full page of writing.

HW:
Read Chapter 20, Section 3 page 646.
