We are officially starting our Narrative unit today! Everyone has a story to tell, it's just asking the right questions. We are going to listen and talk about several animated narratives from an organization called StoryCorps. They record interviews that are then played on the radio.
Over the the next two days, we'll be listening and discussing these stories. For each one, we'll be asking four questions:
1) What one thing did you like/dislike about this story?
2) How did it make you feel?
3) What is the point, the message, or lesson of this story; what is it trying to show us? (Thesis)
4) What are some details that illustrated that point?
In addition, if needed, we will go over how to post your Tagxedo picture to Edmodo (see last post).
Homework: No NEW homework, but see the last post.
