We are using the Novel The Breadwinner to connect with both English and Geography.
English / Geography:
- Vocabulary building
- Summarizing skills (please see post from last week for homework ideas)
- making connections (text to text, text to self, text to world, text to media...) to the story to increase understanding
- connecting to Drama (small groups) to demonstrate connections between characters in the story
- using Atlas to locate Afghanistan, the countries surrounding, the climate, etc.
Math:
Finishing up data managment
Students should be prepared to take an open book test next Tuesday. They are reviewing in class to help prepare. Students are encouraged to complete work from older blog posts, showing their work for each step.
NN and EK have already done their test. They will be preparing to start the next unit.
