ELA - We continued to read Messenger and discuss the literary elements. We concluded ELA by discussing setting and starting our Memoir drafts.
Math - During math Mrs. Washington and I team-taught a lesson. We reviewed the homework, discussed how to calculate volume, and started our review for the assessment on Thursday.
Social Studies - Students analyzed direct quotes from Karl Marx and Frederick Engels' Communist Manifesto and matched each quotes up with their "everyday language" interpretations. I was very pleased that half of the class was able to complete this task with minimal assistance since this was advanced level work. Students then took those interpretations and their notes about the Cold War to create word maps and write down the positives and negatives about communist and capitalist societies. The last part of the activity, which we will finish tomorrow, will include a discussion about the reality of what has happened in communist countries.
