Also, on the class website is a Genealogy site where students may do a Webquest on their family tree and interview a family member to get some family stories. Everyone should try to get at least one good story from a family member. Two stories are preferable. Do you have a movie camera? Can you tape your relative? We will write a story about a family member and bring it in to class. We will be following a Lesson Plan from PBS. (My Native American story) Now we hear a Native American story. This has photos and a taped story. You may do this kind of story too. Circle of Stories the PBS Lesson Plan. http://www.pbs.org/circleofstories/educators/lesson3.html 1/2 hour to 3/4 hour.

HOMEWORK
Homework Assignment: Students will use their favorite idea for a Creative Myth and will work on it this weekend, coming up with a rough draft of the story at least 2 pages long, handwritten, or 1 page long typed, double-spaced. CHECK RUBRIC to make the Creative Myth match this by Wednesday, when it is due.
The class will work in groups to help with each written piece. Step One: rough draft: due on Monday.
We show more creation myths online if there is time. We can meet to do research for the Antigone project OR read in our books, if time. Sign up on the book sheet to show what you are reading or have read. Get some free lesson plan linksGO TO THE ENGLISH CLASS PAGE |
