11th Grade: If you were out, please review the PP from today- it details some of the quotes and a clip to watch: Rodriguez discussing identity and language. I also reviewed Portfolio #2 lotamexicoschildrenpptx
HW: Read Noda’s Essay “Growing Up Asian in America” and absolutely complete Portfolio #1
9th Grade: Today we discussed more on cultural bias as well as sensory language. We completed a food activity where we tried different foods and tried our hand at describing them with attention to language and detail. In class we completed a creative paragraph. We then began our third travel story and third note taking assignment, paraphrasing in the margins of “On and Off the Kokoda Trail”. Please finish this up for HW.
HW: Paraphrase and read “On and Off the Kokoda Trail”
