Poster Proliferation!

Today we have been working in our teams to finish creating your teaching posters for our Tracing Freedom project. I have loved seeing your insights, ideas, and summaries thus far, and I am looking forward to our walk-around tomorrow to explore all of the posters in detail.

For tonight, be sure to study the week's five vocab words for our creative quiz tomorrow. Here they are:

OBDURATE
DEPRAVITY
ABOLISH
RAPTURE
RESOLVE

This week's words are from our book Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and for tomorrow's creative quiz, we'll be walking around the room to view one another's Teaching Posters and then sharing some responses.

Have an awesome evening! And why not GO OUTSIDE as much as possible and simply use the vocab words WHILE playing outside today!?

For instance, if you choose to walk barefoot across a big field, linking arms with your family and friends, you might have a conversation like this:

You: "To force anyone to miss out on sunshine, fresh air, and freedom to do this is an instance of depravity."

Family member / Friend: "I agree whole-heartedly! And I hereby resolve to make sure that everyone has a chance to walk barefoot across a big field."

You: "Yes!"

Family member / Friend: "YES!!"

In unison: "YES!!!"

Peace,

Mr. R
