Today, students were issued their SpringBoard textbooks. Then, they worked on their Introduction to the American Dream assignment (part II), in which they created collages, representing their personal definitions of the American Dream. Then, students were given the American Dream Socratic Seminar Preparation Chart and were instructed to read Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" (SB pg. 16) and Langston Hughes' "I, Too, Sing America" (SB pg. 17) and complete the "Second Read" activities and questions and the "Working from the Text" chart (SB pg. 18). Students are to complete these assignments for homework, id they did not do so in class.
