Ann's Assignment for the next two weeks. (CLASS ON MONDAY LAST TWO WEEKS)

Assignment for Thursday, May 26.

Across, Chapter 17, Lesson 2, 460-63; Chapter 18, Lesson 1

Julius Caesar, 140-65.


A writing assignment on Julius Caesar will be due Monday, June 6. Two pages, typed, double-spaced. A DRAFT WILL BE DUE MONDAY, MAY 30.

Pick a character in the play and describe events from his, or her, point of view.
I’d suggest Brutus, Cassius, or Mark Antony. You can do third-person narrative, but first person would probably be more fun. Remember that each person will have a different viewpoint and will see the events of the play differently. Refer to pages in the play to show the character’s thinking and experiences.

(You could do Portia or Caesar or Casca; but they are more minor characters and it would be hard to get two pages. Maybe do Portia AND Calpurnia. That might get you two pages and some discussion about what Shakespeare thought women’s lives were like.)



Assignment for Monday, May 30.

Across, Chapter 18, Lesson 2, pp. 

Julius Caesar, 166-199.

In Julius Caesar, read pages 78-107.

Write a paragraph explaining the importance of exploration to the small kingdom of Portugal. What did the Portuguese gain by these voyages? What resources did they need in order to accomplish these amazing travels? How important do you think Prince Henry’s influence was?

Re-post of Current Event Guidelines.

Here are the guidelines for the current event assignment that will be due on Thursday, every two weeks.

Current Events

In place of having Problem of the Week some weeks, we will be doing Current Events. For this assignment, you will pick out a current news article from a newspaper, magazine, or reputable online source. If you don't know what a reputable online source is come see me and I will tell you. Using this article you will create a two to four minute oral presentation, as well as a brief written summery. Your summery should be about the following length. Third Grade: A few sentences to a paragraph. Fifth Grade: Paragraph to half a page. Seventh Grade: Half a page to a full page. This can be typed. I would prefer this to be typed. At some point it may become mandatory that you type this.

These current event reports will be introduced on Monday. They will be due on Thursday. You can pick any sort of event, from world news to local events. Your written and oral reports should include the following elements.

Everyone

• Title of article
• Location of event. Be able to locate on map.
• What happened? What is the article about?

Fifth and Seventh

• Why is this article important? Why did the news agency choose to run this article?
• Does this event affect us here in Salmon Creek? Could it? How?

• Is there a bias? Does the person writing the article have a point of view or an opinion?
• What more do you want to know?

Seventh

• If you had written this article what would you have changed?
