Self-Starter: Continue on the page under "Reading" you wrote on last time, or start a new page.
a. "Secrets" When is it okay, and when is it not okay for parents to keep secrets from their children? Should they keep their children from finding out about unpleasant or dangerous things that might affect those children? How much should parents try to protect their children from knowing? Think about Lena and her papa in Words By Heart. Think also about secrets that parents might keep in today's world.
b. Label this part "Prepositions." Either write a definition for prepositions, or list at least five prepositions.
A1 checked the pronoun/antecedent quiz.
A2, A3, A4 did a brief "talk show" with Lena and her papa as guests. The "studio audience" were able to ask questions and express their opinions about what "Papa" was keeping from Lena. (He hadn't let her know about how dangerous and limited life really was for African-Americans during that time.)
We read from Words By Heart, started on page 19, and reading through the end of the chapter.
Ms. Dorsey showed a sample "Symbolic Story Representation" she had prepared for the chapter. Students will also have an opportunity to do a "Symbolic Story Representation" for another part of the book.
We practiced gathering facts from an historical fiction book -- Words By Heart.
Some of the facts we found in chapter 3 include these:
Fact: Taft was President of the United States in 1910. p. 21
Fact: Theodore Roosevelt gave a speech about a "New Nationalism" in 1910. p. 21
Fact In 1910, there were tensions between Russia and Austria that people thought might lead to war. p. 22
We could go to other sources to find out more about these subjects:
Notice that for the other sources, each time I give a fact, I use informal citation to tell where I found it.
Fact: According to whitehouse.gov, William Howard Taft was President of the United States from 1909- 1913.
Fact: Also according to the whitehouse.gov entry about President Taft, Theodore Roosevelt picked Taft to be his successor, then later worked to defeat him when Taft tried for re-election.
I'm collecting information to create a works cited entry: Title: "William Howard Taft" http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/wt27.html , accessed on February 5, 2008.
Fact: In January of 1910, the New York Times reported that Austria had accused Russia of espionage.
Information to use in a works cited entry: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free "AUSTRIA ACCUSES RUSSIA.; Military Attache Said to Have Been Involved In Espionage." January 27, 1910. Found in the New York Times Archives online -- accessed February 5, 2008.
