Today we started working on our big Medieval African Griot project. This project will be a significant grade for this 9 weeks. Please ask your students about their project. They will be creating a story as if they were an African Griot about their own family. This will include family stories and/or family traditions. They will then create a minute & 30 second video were they speak their story over music or rap/sing their song over music. We will be working on this project most of this week. Please email me if you have any questions/concerns about this project. You can find all the requirements on Canvas.
Today, students completed a timed reading in class. This is not homework, as students should have finished it and turned it in at the end of class. Tomorrow, students need to turn in their completed chart of questions about the "Triangle Factory Fire" informational articles. They received this assignment on Friday and have had class time to complete it. "Triangle Factory Fire" Questions 4th, 6th, and 8th Hours - Ghost chapter 3 is due on Thursday
