We started viewing the film October Sky yesterday, Thursday, October 21. At key points in the film, we will pause and respond to a short prompt that I provide. Students will practice forming an opinion and then supporting that opinion with "text evidence." In the film, text evidence is something the characters say or do or some bit of information the filmmaker provides.
To start the process, I asked students to respond to the following prompt by email: Why is Homer's dad so rough on his men? My school email is lvenekamp@ics-charter.org
On Monday, October 25, students will find a link here on my blog to their Greek and Latin roots test. Students will log in with a password I provide and take their test before Wednesday, October 27. On that day, the test will disappear, and students will no longer be able to log in to it. The scores to that test will come to me electronically by email.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Fondly,
Mrs. Venekamp
