World Literature (10th Lit) January 28, 2018

Remember that Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday are Access testing. In class, we will work on our Embedded Assessment Cultural Identity papers for the beginning of the week and then continue with Unit 1 after that. We will not have a separate Vocab unit for the week because of Access testing.

Sample quotes for Embedded Assessment Hook

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.                Marcus Garvey 

Culture is the intersection of people and life itself. It's how we deal with life, love, death, birth, disappointment... all of that is expressed in culture.         Wendell Pierce 

When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it.             Yo-Yo Ma 

I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.         Salma Hayek

Remember that Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday are days you will be doing Access testing. I anticipate that we will be missing some of our students on those days, so I'm giving the Unit 2 test on Tuesday. On Monday, we will review for the test. On Tuesday, we will take the test and work on Word Wall words for Unit 3. The rest of the week will be spent in Unit 3.

ESOL World Lit (10th Lit)

Welcome to World Literature. Remember that we will do independent (silent) reading every day! You can choose a book from my library, from the Wheeler Library, or bring a book from home. The book should stay here at school so that you will always have it to read in class. We will write an essay on Friday so that I can get an idea of where everyone is with writing skills.
