Agenda: Monday February 7, 2022 Periods 1 and 2

 Good Morning! Today, while I am away, you will engage in your Article of The Week. This week, your article involves listening to a PODCAST that I have chosen.  We all will listen to the same podcast that relates to the question on our "A Raisin in the Sun" Anticipation Guide.  The Podcast is titled: Gentrification: Feeling Like An Outsider in Your Own Neighborhood. The Link is Found here: https://www.wnyc.org/story/gentrification-feeling-outsider-your-own-neighborhood. Listen with your headphones, or the class headphones (distributed by helpers: Wilmer and Wendoly period 1 and Dume and Jackie, period 2). After listening, complete the SOAPS Analysis sheet. Your vocabulary word is gentrification. Upload into Schoology before the period ends--dont forget your academic summary.

Now, let's listen, watch, and learn and practice more on pronouns and identifying their antecedents. Use the 3-2-1 chart to record what you learned on the videos and in my short lecture.  3 concepts or ideas or words learned, 1 question, and 1 interesting thing you learned.  3-2-1 Chart here: you may also use your own paper
