ENGLISH 2
There were several elements of today's lesson. In each class, we looked at the characteristics of Okonkwo and Unoka as we discussed yesterday, re-referenced several elements that are valuable/highly regarded by the Ibo people, and discussed an overview chapter one of Things Fall Apart. I also directed all classes to the ENGLISH 2 portion of this website where students can find audio versions of the novel. All classes also saw my PLOT ORGANIZER, and had the opportunity to get a copy of this. Students are not required to outline the plot for this novel, but we WILL be outlining it for our next unit of study when we look at how stories are built and prepared. Periods 2 and 4 also took notes on PROVERBS. The additional requirement was explained that at least one of our selected quotes from the text needs to be a proverb that helps us understand something important to the Ibo tribe. All classes should have at least through chapter two read before class tomorrow. LEADERSHIP We were originally going to continue our work from yesterday, but there was a pleasant surprise with openings at a guest speaker in the library today! We heard from a South American native public speaker, with the help of Ms. Montalvo-Lopez translating, about a tale of nature and warnings about how to better our earth. While some students did not see the connection to our class, I took notes and we will debrief tomorrow!
