ELA B10: Mar 26 Judging and Misjudging Others Subunit…
- Moving along in our course, we started another subunit now that looks at the reality of judgement and those who are most often judged in our society.
- We’ll be doing a novel study in this subunit, but before anyone has the chance to groan over a “novel study” I cut them off with a description of the plot of the story, the reality that it’s a truly beloved story, and they’ll likely remember it for years to come.
- We read through a list of the characters in Of Mice and Men and their general descriptions and importance in the book. I also discussed the setting, both location and era of history, that the first chapter takes place in.
- We read through the first chapter together and students were given a visual representation assignment where they have to find ten phrases (direct quotations) from the first chapter and visually represent those descriptions in a illustration. They have the rubric as well to understand how it will be evaluated and what attention to details they should include.
