Juniors - Wednesday/Thursday, Feb. 18-19

Block days this week were spent viewing an episode of the television show Freaks and Geeks. This particular episode makes tons of great connections to the novel. After we viewed it, we discussed the various similar themes that the show explored. To prepare for the next activity, we also talked about whether or not there is such thing as a "universal teen experience" and how our gender affects our track in life. Next, posted all around the room were posters that each had a specific question that related to our essential question for this unit (How do we become who we are?) Each student walked around the room and individually responded to each question in a short response on the poster. Afterwards, we discussed the results and looked for some common threads in your responses. View the questions by clicking here. For homework, please make sure you've read to page 105. There will be a quiz on Friday.
