Antigone Today |
Today we will finish reading Antigone. Once we have completed the text, you may begin working on this assignment. This will allow you to think about the tragic ending and the person responsible for the action of the play. We will see how these themes are still relevant in our lives today. I know it is sometimes difficult to see that a Greek Tragedy written an incredibly long time ago could still have importance to our lives, but I think you will find that the connections are absolutely there.
As you navigate your way through the lesson, think about the way these characters perspectives are similar or different than your own. Would you have broken a law to do what you thought was right? Would you have stuck with a law even if it was hurting your family? |

Folly, Vice and Everything Nice |
We are entering the 18th century in our literature studies. The period between 1660 and 1785 was a time of expansion for England; the empire increased in size and changed internally. Political and social changes led to new ways of thinking during the time period known as the Restoration. The changes that occurred during this time greatly affected literature. We are going to explore some of those changes as we explore the literature. The activities we do online will focus on satire. They are designed to help you understand what satire is and how it is used. Once you have a firm grasp on the definition of satire and the different uses for it we will begin to explore satire from the 18th century. |

The lesson will consist of three different activities in order to improve the students' reading ability. They will first go to Starfall.com. Starfall motivates children to use their natural sense of wonder and curiosity to enhance learning. The students will listen to, manipulate, read, and eventually master this sound-spelling through a variety of books and games. They follow a specific sequence in order to answer questions for the book quiz at the end of the lesson.
First, the students will play the game 'Make a Word'. They will have to match the first sound with the ending sound. For example, they will match the letters r, f, p, and c with -an to make these words: ran, fan, pan, and can.
Next, they incorporate what they learned during 'Make a Word' into a small book. This book reads each word while emphasizing the sound of a particular letter. The students will read "ABC Letters in the Library" and take a comprehension quiz to conclude the lesson. |

Throughout our reading of Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, an African-American author who lived during the Harlem Renaissance, we will explore the development of identity and personal narrative. The big questions we will consider are: What is Janie’s identity and personal narrative and how does it develop throughout the story? How does Zora Neale Hurston’s identity and personal narrative influence this novel? What are our identities and personal narratives and how do those influence the reading of this novel and other literature?
This lesson, based on Chapters 1 & 2 of the book, is an introduction into the world of the author, novel and concepts of personal narrative and identity.
