Welcome back (and for the first time) to Westview!
I am looking forward to an excellent semester with each of you. Here is what we accomplished today:
I am looking forward to an excellent semester with each of you. Here is what we accomplished today:
- First we reviewed the quotes that you chose to sit near. These quotes were from prominent writers, thinkers, and scholars including: Malala Yousafzai, Adrienne Rich, James Baldwin, and Cesar Chavez. You wrote about why you selected the quote, or why the quote resonated with you, and then shared your thinking with others in class. Several students shared their thinking aloud.
- Second you completed name cards for me to know a little bit more about how to best meet your learning needs.
- We began working through the assignment, "To Say the Name is to Start the Story...". We read through and analyzed examples from literary leaders, and reviewed student examples from past years before digging into our own writing.
- Be sure to complete your writing about your name before the start of class. We'll be reading them aloud.
- Play around with this website and complete the music playlist survey (see button below).
