I first want to brag on our English III team (Mrs. Westberry, Mrs. Hodges, and Mrs. Adamson) were an amazing group of teachers with an abundance of ideas. They were able to accomplish and finish so much in our 1/2 day of technology and curriculum planning. So I want to show off some of the cool things that they have worked on. First, they decided to stick mostly to OneNote and learn to incorporate most of their ideas through OneNote pages. While they may have used some outside website, everything was linked back to OneNote to keep things simple for their students. So here are some of the creative ideas that were worked on: Short Story Unit In the short story unit they were able to create a hyperdoc that walked students through satire. It started with a simple example of satire, then had them apply their understanding of satire to the short story they were reading, and lastly asked the students to create their own example of satire in their everyday lives through a comic. In this unit they also discuss foreshadowing. Using OneNote they attached their short story and a concept map for the students to use and display examples of foreshadowing in their reading. Here is a screenshot of that page. The Crucible The next unit was The Crucible. In this unit, an emphasis was placed on character development. So a couple of pages were made for students to analyze a particular character or to rank the characters by morality. Here are screenshots of those assignments. And who does the crucible without going on a witch hunt?! The team found an online witch hunt through National Geographic. They hyperlinked the URL into their OneNote page. Those were just a few of the activities that were accomplished that day. Excited for students to continue on this journey with our amazing teachers.
