We continue our examination of Watsons go to Birmingham, focusing on the main characters and how they change. On Monday, we will have an activity related to this content, and we will be integrating our core values of tzedek, chochmah and kehillah as we discuss Civil Rights. Later in the week we will continue our pre-writing work for the upcoming essay. Moving on to Unit 2 in vocabulary and root words, we will spend less time in class reviewing the words but will address any questions and clarification needed. The second journal entry will be assigned, and we will continue our study of grammar reviewing prepositions and helping verbs. Finally, we will continue building the ePortfolios, focusing on blogging and microblogging (Twitter). Please keep reading Out of my Mind.
