Sorry I cannot be here with you today. I will see you tomorrow or Friday when we do our Socratic Seminar!
Today, you have two goals:
- Read and respond to an Article of the Week on Newsela
- Make sure your book review is complete and turned in (in the inbox or shared with me on Google Drive)
Article of the Week
It is called Rioting in Baltimore shuts down much of city; worst since 1968 and is on Newsela. You won't be able to see it unless you sign in first. Make sure you click "Sign in with Google" to sign in! You probably want the "1210L" setting. (you can also find it here, but you won't be able to change the level.)
You will need to write two paragraphs in your English Journal:
In the first paragraph, summarize the article (use the sentence frames on the wall if you need to).
In the second paragraph, share your opinions on what is happening in Baltimore. Were/Are their actions justified? What are acceptable forms of protest? Why do you think these people turned to rioting in the first place?
Book Reviews!
These are due today!! Yay!
You may turn it in on paper in the inbox, or share it with me on Google Drive.
Important note: It is important that you share your OPINIONS. Use the chart as a guide, and in this assignment, you need to be using "I" to share your thoughts.
If you finish these things:
