This week we will be focusing on two things. First, we will be analyzing different types of media coverage on the same event -- the controversial voyage of the young Amy Sunderland. We will be discussing students' opinions on what bold actions are worth the associated risks. These lessons will provide a precursor to argument writing.
Second, later in the week we will also work on getting started with our narrative that will be due at the conclusion of this unit. Students will be continuing the theme of Bold Actions in their narratives.
Homework: Thursday students will be asked to brainstorm a list of ideas for their narratives. What bold action will their main character be deciding to act on? Students are to brainstorm ideas at home and bring them back to class Friday.
