Author's Point of View, etc.

Happy Tuesday!

I just added a Google Classroom lesson about Author's Point of View. When reading informational texts, "author's point of view" (standard RI.7.6) refers to the author's opinion about the topic he or she is writing about. You can do the lesson any time this week. The lesson steps are:

1. Watch the video
2. Read and annotate the excerpt "Daughters of Eve." Highlight words and phrases that have a strong connotation (feeling or image).
3. Take the quiz. Think of this quiz as more of a learning tool than an assessment. I put explanations in the key. If you answer any questions incorrectly, please read the explanations carefully to help you better understand the task and skill.

I chose this excerpt because it is about women's rights (or lack thereof) in Colonial times, so it relates to page 80 in Chains, when the Locktons fight. 

So here's everything due this week:

• Read Chains ch. 11-15. (Don't forget the introduction video).
• Answer the discussion question and respond to at least 1 classmate (due Wednesday night)
• Complete the author's point of view reading and "quiz" (due Friday night)
• Complete the Chains ch. 11-15 quiz (due Sunday night)

As always, email or message me with questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
