Junior Senior Assignments for the week of February 3, 2014




*Due to my illness and absence last week, many assignments scheduled last week will be completed this week.
Monday-
All Classes will attend Part 4 of the Arizona Youth Partnerships Program.

Tuesday- All students will complete the journal for the first ten minutes of class.

Seniors will create their own satires using the elements of fiction. Students may use any media they choose (movie, cartoon/comic, short story, skit, etc.), but the final product must include the elements that the class discussed as part of Attachment A, Elements of Satire. Students begin by choosing particular topics, characters and satiric elements to use in their piece.

Juniors will begin to work on the Bill of Right Group Activity.  Each group will be assigned one of the first ten amendments and complete the following tasks: Write a summary of the amendment in modern language defining necessary terms. Explain an example in U.S. History or an example in the life of the presenters that involves one of the first ten amendments. Create a visual aide for teaching the amendment. It can be a picture or a diagram. Create a skit depicting the amendment being violated. Create a handout for the class (20 copies). Crossword puzzles, word searches, and graphic organizers work best. Present the above items to the class on Thursday.
