Friday, January 23rd

We continued reading Messenger and then we finished our 1920s notes.  At the end of the lesson, students discussed Herbert Hoover and his role at the beginning of the Great Depression.  We concluded our day by reviewing the poetry elements we've already discussed and a few new concepts.  Next week they will finish the activity and review for the upcoming literary assessment (date TBD).

Students who want to get a head start on next week's vocabulary can go to the vocabulary quizlet.

Students successfully identified the alliteration and personification in Shel Silverstein's "The Farmer and the Queen."

After they finished the notes, students worked together to answer the question, "What was Herbert Hoover's role in America's economic decline?  Was the 1929 Stock Market Crash and/or the Great Depression his fault?"
