The Danger of a Single Story

Goal: Finish writing about our photos and watch a speech

Agenda: 
Read
Article Check
Write about TIME Photo
Watch a speech (+take notes!)

1. Article Check 

• As you are reading, we're going to check to make sure you have your nonfiction article for your comparison tomorrow. 
• Bookmark your article! You need to access it quickly tomorrow.
• Put a link to your article in your English Journal. 

2. Write About Your TIME Photo 

• Yesterday you started working on your Investigating Photojournalism document (you should have a copy in your Google Drive)
• I will give you 10 minutes to spice up your answers. 
• This document will be assessed based on quality of writing, not quantity. Use the questions as guidelines. 

3. Watching a Speech 

• You all wrote about stereotypes people have had about you that were not necessarily who you are. 
• We're going to watch a TED Talk by Chimimanda Ngozi Adiche called "The Danger of a Single Story."
• While we watch, please be prepared to take notes in your English Journal about the talk.
• I will ask you specifically to write down lines that you find memorable. 
• I will pause the talk intermittently so you can catch up on your notes.

Reminders: 

We're writing about Book #10 tomorrow. Most of you should be on Book #11 or #12 right now because you're speedy. If you need help choosing a book, ask! We still have other book reviews coming your way before the end of the year.
