Hello Parents,
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We are back in action. Mr. Badeau and I have the next three weeks mapped out to wrap up our Immigration unit. In Mr. Badeau's LA side, students will be writing a narrative from an immigrant perspective. On the Social Studies side, we will develop the main character in a project called "The Things They Carried" (I have attached the assignment in Edmodo, which includes description, rubric, deadlines and checklist). If classtime is utilized well, students should be able to complete all work in the classroom. We will culminate with a celebration on Dec. 17-19. Students will read part of their narrative, present their "Things They Carried" project, and hopefully be dressed in character. As part of the project, they will be researching a recipe of a food from their character's home country. Not mandatory......but on the day of the presentations (we will announce the specific day a student presents) we would love for the student to bring in a prepared dish from their recipe for an "international food day" as part of the celebration (small dish). This will be a fun way to wrap up the unit. Let me know if you have any questions.
Mr. B
