Week 2 and 3 Online Learning- March 30-April 9th

 Hey My Sweet Kids..   We made it through one week! I am proud of all of us! Because I do not have the ability to see you... your faces... your eyes... it is even more important that y'all keep COMMUNICATING with me. If you are overwhelmed, worried, confused, PLEASE talk to me! I am here to support you. We have email... Schoology conferences.. Google hangouts...  whatever we need.

Just as we worked with characterization last week, the literary device we will be working with this week is HISTORICAL CONTEXT. 

1. Take the First Week online survey for me... just want to make sure you all are doing ok. I am also considering your feedback in planning in upcoming weeks. This is your check in for today (Monday).

3.  Because we are working with another culture, it is important to be aware of how we discuss cultural practices that look differently than ours do, please do the reflective assignment: Language and Culture Awareness. Assignment is in Schoology. This is due by Thursday, April 9th.

4. Open and read through the Things Fall Apart and Historical Context Project. You will be constructing a Google Slide presentation demonstrating your knowledge of historical context and its application to Things Fall Apart. Please read through the instructions carefully. I have also given you a slide outline breakdown on this assignment sheet, if you need it.  This presentation is due on Thursday, April 9th  Just try your best.  LINK FOUND HERE: Historical Context Assignment Sheet Link

I have provided you multiple research links on the Igbo society. I have also given you a folder with links reminding you how to do MLA citation. I am available to help you through all of this. Consult the sites. Try your best. If you want to use a citation formulator to help you out, by all means do so. You have done all of this before. YOU CAN DO THIS!
