5PA Update

This week, students will wrap up their annotations for "Literary Lessons" by Louisa May Alcott.  Students will then begin working on a Color, Symbol, Image project which I strongly believe will deepen their understanding of the text.  Students will consider the big ideas and important themes in what they have just read and will be required to do the following:

  • Choose a color that best represents the essence of that idea.
  • Create a symbol that best represents the essence of that idea.
  • Sketch an image that you think best captures the essence of that idea.

There will also be a writing component that will require students to support their thinking with text evidence and appropriately explain and justify why they selected specific evidence.  Prior to beginning the project, the students will be provided with various examples and will review a rubric that outlines the product expectations. Students will have approximately a week and a half to complete this learning task.
