This week!
Hello everyone! I'm really excited about what the students are doing this month and next. Being inspired by Black History Month, I put together units that explore modern, common issues of stereotyping and discrimination while encouraging students to find ways to prevent these problems. Hopefully, by the end of the units, the students will have a better understanding of the similarities we share with people who may look different than us. Here's a little outline as to what we are doing in class this week:
LA7: This week we will continue their unit on Good vs. Evil by looking into how an author establishes a style and also how they create a representation of "good" or "evil" in their work using characters (archetypes), setting, poetic devices, etc. We are reading poems from both Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakespeare....opposites!
LA8: This week we will be continuing our Breaking Barriers unit by looking at the similarities and differences in struggles among different races. Along with this, we will be having an African American guest come in to speak to the students about his experience as an African American in America and in South Korea.
LA9: This week the students will begin their unit titled, Patterns in History: Preventing Repetition of the Past. They will be creating their own blogs (which they will share with you on here) and create artifacts that explore the modern application, and comparison with the Holocaust, of their topics which are: Racism, Sexism, Totalitarianism, Genocide, and Human Trafficking.
Stay tuned for more updates! :)
