Good Afternoon,

Yesterday, we looked at the “yes/no chart” for Identities and looked at persuasive writing techniques as seen through commercials.

Yesterday, each group was to identify a different lens.  What are some examples of lenses throughout “Identities”?  Share aloud

Good Afternoon,

We are continuing with Inquiry today…On Thursday, we watched several youtube clips and at the end of each one you completed a “Building Understanding”.

Discussion:  What is the connection between the video clips that we watched?  I would like to hear your thoughts on this question…

1.  We are reading an essay by Bertand Russell
