Students completed a snapshot today of RI5 and RI6. Those standards focus on comparing/contrasting text information and analyzing multiple accounts of the same event. I'll be using that data to make the small reading groups for the rest of this week. We then continued reading Messenger. Students were able to discuss the symbolism of Forrest and also identify other literary elements.
During social studies we continued discussing the causes of the Great Depression. Students took notes and discussed Hoover's perspective on the role of business and government intervention.
During homeroom for the ext several days, both classes are doing an independent film study of The Grapes of Wrath.
