Per 1 2019-2020-ELA Core 7 Assignments

I cannot believe we've reached the last week of school! I'm so proud of the stamina and grit that many of you have displayed throughout the year, but especially during this distance learning period of time. WAY TO GO, PANTHERS! :)

I'd love if you could and would join our us for an end of the year celebration Zoom! I will be sharing the Student Symbolism Showcase of your artwork from last week. Some of your talent (both with artwork and with words) blows me away!


Danielle Berchtold is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

This week's lesson will focus on symbolism.

1. In the attached PowerPoint, you will learn about symbolism.

2. Once you have learned about symbolism, you will move to the two part assignment (both are attached here). Please make sure you are READING THE DIRECTIONS for each part of the assignment! :)

PART ONE: Symbolism Analysis Chart: Practice analyzing symbols and justifying your answers using "items" from the novel using the attached Google Document. I included an example for you to use as you complete this portion of the assignment.
*10 points in the "Reading Literature" category

PART TWO: Symbolic Art Project: Formulate a symbolic art project using a medium of your preference. Please see the PowerPoint for detailed instructions. After you finish, you will take a photo and insert it in the attached Google Slide Presentation along with a quote that inspired your creation! I can't wait to see them!

If the above is confusing, please watch my Week 8 Direct Instruction Video attached below where I explain all of this. :)

Please login to AR and take the quiz for the book you selected as your final book for the school year. :)

IF YOUR BOOK DOES NOT HAVE AN AR QUIZ: Please complete the attached document and submit it.

**NOTE** Please remember to read this summer!!! The only way to become better at anything is by practice; this includes reading! :)

This week's lesson will focus on conflict.

1. In the attached PowerPoint, you will learn about conflict.

2. Once you have learned about conflict, you will move to the two part Google Doc assignment (attached here). Please make sure you are READING THE DIRECTIONS for each part of the assignment! :)

PART ONE: Practice determining and justifying theme using clips from movies. If you'd like some help with this, I will be doing an optional, live Zoom on Wednesday at 11:15 am.

PART TWO: Determine the different types of conflict in "The Outsiders" - making sure to justify your answers!

If the above is confusing, please watch my Week 7 Direct Instruction Video attached below where I explain all of this. :)

This week's lesson will focus on theme. I have created an assignment that gives you CHOICE! Yay for options! There are TWO assignments posted here, but you will only turn in ONE of them. :)

1. In the attached PowerPoint, you will learn about theme and poetry. There is a lot of information there, so please take your time to go through it.

2. Once you have learned about theme and poetry, you will reflect on the novel, and decide what theme you think is displayed.

3. Once you have finished that, you will pick the assignment you want to complete for the week. Have FUN with it!

OPTION 1: Blackout Poetry Project
OPTION 2: Formulate an Imitation Poem

There are TWO Google Document templates - one for each option. Only complete and turn in the one you choose to complete for the week. When you have done that, you will need to submit it here in our Google Classroom so that I can provide feedback and score it. :)

If the above is confusing, please watch my Week 6 Direct Instruction Video attached below where I explain all of this. :)

Sorry for my error; I uploaded a Word Document instead of the Google Document for this week's assignment. Here is the correct one that you will need to complete for the week. I'm sorry I'm posting it as a new assignment; for whatever reason it wouldn't let me add it to my prior assignment post.

I will be hosting an optional Zoom on Wednesday for those of you who would like to save listening to and rating the music for this week's lesson. :)

I look forward to rocking out with you! Haha!

This week's focus is on characterization. We will be doing the following:

1. In the attached PowerPoint, you will learn about direct and indirect characterization, and how to identify character traits. There is a LOT of information inside of that PowerPoint, so please take your time to go through it.

2. Once you are done with the above, you will go over Chapters 1 and 2 in "The Outsiders" to analyze the character of Dallas Winston.
In order to do this, I've attached 3 things:

A) a PDF containing LOTS of character trait words
B) the excerpts about Dally from Ch 1 and 2 in case you don't have your novel
C) "Characterization Analysis Assignment for Dallas Winston" - a work page where you are going to complete the assignment for the week

Please type the title and the author's name here.


If you need to get a new book, I've attached the instructions on how to download the app "Libby" that the public library uses to check out ebooks! :)

Finish your Essay - See the attached ppt and the documents here in order to complete this task. :) I have added the TRAP conclusion draft page only for the purpose of making the drafting easier for you. Use it only if you want it. :)

1) Write your Conclusion Paragraph - you can use any piece of paper that you have at home to do that.
2) Type your essay into google docs - use the MLA Report Option
3) Use the self-editing checklist to go over your writing and make changes as needed
4) Put your writing under the RADAR to make any necessary revisions

SUBMIT BOTH THE SELF-EDITING CHECKLIST AND THE FINAL ESSAY! This means there should be TWO attachments for this week's assignment.

Grades for these assignments WILL be entered into Aeries. :)

(If you got behind in the essay writing process, the entire powerpoint can be found in the stream dated March 3 where I had been posting the essay documents from before face to face school was cancelled.)

Please login to Renaissance and take your quiz for "The Outsiders".

Your score will be recorded in Aeries. Please look there. :)

Use this template to enter your daily grammar warm-ups for the remainder of T2. :)

Use this Google Doc for your daily warm ups for weeks 13 through 17.

Use the attached document to complete your daily warm ups. :)

WARM UPS - UNIT 1! :)

1. Use the attached warm up template document to complete daily warm ups. Make sure that you include the week number, the date (punctuated properly), and a completed daily warm up.

Warm Ups are part of your "Language" grade in Aeries which includes grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
