Lesson 67: May 6-7

Today's objectives:
By the end of today's lesson, students will be able to determine some specific ways in which their individual text reflects the social change or social unrest that characterizes the time period in which it was written; students will demonstrate this by organizing and writing Part D of their English/history grad. portfolio research paper.

Agenda:
1) SSR in individual texts
2) Modeling of doing the thinking/writing for Part D using Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" as a model
3) Work time to begin organizing and writing Part D

HW: Finish writing Part D of your research paper - it is due on Monday (per. 1 and 2) or Tuesday (per. 5 and 6). I passed back Part B with feedback to everyone who submitted it on time. If your Part B needs a lot of work, please work on revising it or adding to it over the weekend.
