Humanities 8

Good afternoon, 

We had a bit of a change of plan in class. We will be getting to the Fall of the Roman Empire soon, but before we do, students will be reading the novel Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney. Our novel study will be based on independent learning, with some class activities as well.

Our first class activity is below:

Students were given a "word map" template. The template includes the following information: synonym, antonym, pronunciation, part of speech, definition, and using their chosen vocab. word in a sentence. 

Students were asked to choose five words from the list below, and complete a "word map" for each of their five words. These are due on Thursday, November 14th. 

Vocabulary words:

Use the “Word Map” format and complete five words in your binder.
