RW Class Recap and Homework--03/09/20

Class 21- 03/09/20

Objectives:
to introduce Unit 2 and recommit to our class Community Values (the postcards you did on the first day of class) so that we have a space of support, where you are comfortable to take risks and make mistakes, and you all work to keep each other motivated
to introduce our text, an academic text, and its author Juan Gonzalez, going over the Background Sheet for Gonzalez
to go over some background and a timeline for the Dominican Republic.
to begin reading our excerpt from Juan Gonzalez's Harvest of Empire: The History of Latinos in America
to begin annotating the reading through this Annotation Activity (we made it up through paragraph 4)

"Concepts Of Text Fly From Text Book" by Vichaya Kiatying-Angsulee

Homework:
Finish reading the first page up through Paragraph 8. Do not annotate beyond Paragraph 4, which you should have annotated following the steps of the Annotation Activity. Just circle unfamiliar vocab not defined at the bottom of the page. Choose 4 of the words you circled and fill out this Unfamiliar Vocab Tracker. When you look up the word and write the definition, make sure you understand the definition. Instead of writing the definition word for word, write something you will understand when you came back to look at your tracker.
