November Week 1 Update

This week in humanities, students are studying the short story, The Veldt. We started with watching a music video based loosely on the story. We then brainstormed main ideas that came out of the music video and used those to predict what the short story is about. Here is a link to the video: The Veldt Music Video. We then read the story as a class, having students take on the roles of some of the characters through dialogue. We will be finishing our studies on the Veldt with a reading comprehension assessment and a plot graph lesson. The plot graph will help students prepare for their own story writing planning next week. Here is a link to The Veldt short story: The Veldt
