Sick Day 1

Blues:

I apologize for missing school today. It couldn’t be helped. Here is your assignment. *In the case that you do not have a substitute, we will work on this on Monday.

In order to try and gain some perspective on the time period in which To Kill a Mockingbird takes place, you are to look up information regarding specific topics that I am assigning you.

In our shared Dropbox subfolder titled, “TKAM Intro Resources,” (go to “FA ELA Class Files – Blue Class,” and then “To Kill a Mockingbird”) you will find PDFs titled “TKAM Intro Research Organizers.” These are graphic organizers with questions on varying topics that you will use to keep track of the information that you find. Some of you will be finding information on the Civil Rights movement, some of you will be looking up controversial books, some the Great Depression, and some the history of Jim Crow laws. All of you will be using a custom Google search to find this information: TKAM Introductory Research Custom Search.

The assignments are as follows:

The Great Depression
Joseline

Shamim

Badr

Dayana
Gabrielle

Monique

Open up the graphic organizer that pertains to your assigned topic, search for answers to your questions using the TKAM Introductory Research Custom Search, and double-check the rubric (also in the TKAM Intro Resources subfolder) to be sure that you’re doing a satisfactory job.

Word hard: luck means nothing.

We’ll talk Tuesday. Have a safe weekend.
