Before launching into a new unit I worked on the students learning and recall with news articles. Also this was Thanksgiving break week and the student only had three days. I gave each classroom a different assignment so the students could not cheat of one anothers papers in a previous class. My fifth period class got a news article about dog and human interactions. The article focused on how closely related dogs and children acted. I attached different papers to go along with this. Eighth period also worked on an article, but their focused on facebook. Questions also went along with these. Hardly any of the students completed these and it made me very upset.
My seventh period class focused on a critical lens essay, they wrote about a quote and how it applied to two different works in literature. These students had three days to complete this assignment. They needed a three or higher to pass the essay and I am glad to say that they passed the essay with high fours and some fives. I then worked on having them correct errors in the critical lens.
It was an interesting experience before Thanksgiving.
