Nida and I are taking these two days as planning days to prepare the final two curricular units of the year, which are both integrated English/History units (on the Harlem Renaissance and on individual authors in the Civil Rights and Vietnam War eras).
In my absence, the students will watch and take notes on a 75 minute documentary entitled "The Harlem Renaissance" and write a reflection on the unit (Kindred) that we just completed. We will begin the Harlem Renaissance unit during the following lesson.
HW: Complete your Kindred unit reflection if you did not complete it in class.
