This week, the stories we've read, centered around the topic of people and race. We've read about how America is like a big melting pot and the civil rights movements in the 1900s. Other than vocabulary, the class focused on discussions of the stories. I am trying to encourage more discussion in class to help promote their writing ability.
The students did a great job in participating.
Jack impressed me with his attitude change and he actively participates in class.
Dave is all around great especially his writing but he needs to speak louder.
Pon Pon is also all around great and he actively participates in the topics.
Betty is doing well with her sentences but she needs to speak louder as well.
Valerie is engaged but I expect her to participate more in class.
Teddy is not engaged and not excited. I can see he is trying to focus in class but he is not interested in the topics that we are discussing.
Howard is behaving well "in class," he is showing lots of interest in areas where he hasn't shown before.
Anne needs to pay attention and not daydream. She also needs to participate more. She is smart and she understands the material but she really must work harder.
Student Journal Questions
1) What is melting pot?
2) Why did people immigrate to America? at least 2 reasons
3) What is civil rights movement and how did it change over time?
Extra Question:
