During my holiday, I am grading papers, working on MAT assignments, and remodling my new home. Not really much of a "break," but in the mix of all this. I was also thinking about a lesson that will help my students finish up the novel we've been reading and study for the TLI tests. What if they wrote a letter to the US government about the treatment of the Japanese in the interment camp from the perspective of one of the characters. They would have to use at least two text statements, maintain first person point of view, maintain character voice, and use one example of figuaritve language. I might have them look up pictures and/or information about the camp online to help with visual aspects of the letter, as well. I just hope I have time to do what I want to do. Time is an issue when teaching, I've learned.
