Friday

Unit Learning goal: Students will demonstrate knowledge of nineteenth century foundation works of American Literature by choosing one of the four subsections of this Unit (Native American Experience, Early Explorers and Settlers, The Puritan Experience, and Writers of the Revolution) researching and reading an additional story, essay or speech of their choice and creating a video discussing the theme and how the work fits its particular period. 

Okay, so you are going to read a Native American myth of your own.  Take notes, and retell it to class on Tuesday.  Today and Monday are the last days for Native American stories.


Remember from your introduction Native stories were any of the following: Creation stories, legendary histories (tracing the migration of people or the deeds of great leaders), trickster tales, fairy tales, lyrics, changes, children songs, healing songs, and dream visions.  Please note which one your story is. 

1st - words of the day and a review.
