Finish One Pager


Students need to turn in any make up work by tomorrow! Please look at their new progress reports today!

Homework on Friday......Yes!!

Finish your one pagers if you did not finish in class!! Make it "pretty."

One pager:  Illustrate your favorite scene from your favorite story on courageous characters that we have learned about so far.  Provide a quote that goes along with your illustration.

My example was of Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a Woman?"

I drew Sojourner on the stage with people in the audience and my quotes were.....

"The white men will be in a fix pretty soon."
"And ain't I a woman?"

Homework

Finish your bellringer!! You should go into detail about why you feel Sojourner changed her name and which one fits her best.


Make sure you have completed annotations for Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a Woman."  Make sure you have completed the chart and the questions.
