Your English Present and Future: January 22, 2020

Focus: What do we need to do to feel good about English this week and next year?

Please sign up for a one-minute speech. Write the date down in your student calendar.

Also, keep track of your checklist. Requests for the Friday goodie basket?

1. Warming up with independent reading

2. Considering your English options for next year and taking a survey

HW:
1.  BY THIS FRIDAY, please watch the Harlem Renaissance documentary linked below. It will give you the background on the Harlem Renaissance that you need to succeed this week. You can start the documentary 15 minutes into it. 

*WARNING: If you choose to watch the first 15 minutes (not required), there are upsetting photographs of lynchings between minutes 5 and 7.*

So you could watch about 15 minutes a night, or you could watch it all in one gloriously informative off hour.  Do what works for you and your schedule.

Documentary link: Making a Way Out of No Way

On Friday, you will be asked to take about 15 minutes to fill out a reflection sheet on the documentary. It will be divided into Level 1, 2, and 3 thinking. As long as you watched the documentary, you will be just fine. No need to memorize anything.

2. By NEXT MONDAY: Spend 60 minutes outside of class reading.
