11/21/2023 – ELA Reading and Writing – You Can (Not) Replay
Use the following link to examine the picture.
Use THIS DOCUMENT.
- Please fill out the see think wonder
- Use this image to answer the questions in the black for the think column
- Work through the second page (peel the fruit) and heavily focus on the 3rd and 6th box.
Your assignment: due next Tuesday November 28:
- 2 paragraphs to be done on lined paper, please double space
- Title = You Can (Not) Replay
- Prompt = What is the connection between light and life in the image?
Please be sure to use your notes that you took on the pages. In our previous assignment, many students summarized instead of going deeper and dissecting the bigger, deeper ideas.
On November 28, we looked at this video.
- Please make sure that you watch the video multiple times and use the See, Think, Wonder chart as an anchor to your thinking. Be mindful of the Peel the Fruit graphic organizers (boxes 3 and 6) as well.
- There is a small booklet in the extra bin with 3 pages. Each page should be looked at with each viewing of the video. Again, you should try to watch the video 3 times to gain a better understanding of what’s happening.
Tomorrow (Thursday), we will be meeting in small groups to discuss your deep ideas.
