5PA Update
5PA students will be completing their annotations for "The Hemulen Who Loved Silence". We will then review Socratic Seminar expectations by completing a one-day training. Socratic Seminar is a discussion forum that allows students to engage in conversations with one another. The goal is that ALL students contribute thoughtful ideas throughout the seminar in order to obtain a clearer understanding of the text. The teacher acts as a facilitator and is responsible for ensuring that the conversation stays on track. After our seminar, students will take time to reflect and discuss what went well and what improvements need to be made in the future.
On Thursday, October 31, we will be having a "Glow Day". Students may wear white or neon clothing. We will take this opportunity to analyze Harris Burdick portraits and interpret what they think is occurring within the photograph. Students will also be brainstorming questions about the images. If time permits, students will use one of the images to write a short story. I know the students will have LOTS of FUN!
