Math Reasoning

Yesterday, we had a in depth discussion on a sample math problem from the "smarter balance" assessment, that involved: rounding to tenths, decimals, chart graphs, understanding order, and how to explain differences when a math operation is changed.  We'll start by review what we went over and then will move on forward in the testing process.

THE LAB, DA NA DA NA NAh
Introduction to the character Katniss (and her persuasive qualities?)

Whole Class: Read Aloud
Partner Reading
Edmodo Assignment, poem, song, or paragraph that clearly defines your opinon on Katniss the character.  Is she persuasive?   What qualities make her persuasive?  If she's not to you, convince the reader why.

Throughout the next two novels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Katniss becomes the symbol of a rebellion for the twelve districts against the Capitol's oppression.


REBELLION->


the action or process of resisting authority, control, or convention.

"an act of teenage rebellion"
synonyms:defiance, disobedience, rebelliousness, insubordination, subversion, subversiveness, resistance       


In Katniss Everdeen we see one of the more intensely emotional characters to be held up as a hero in contemporary pop culture. But she is not emotional in the neurotic or hysterical sense nor is she a victim of self-absorbed “drama.” It is real, raw emotion in the face of relentless hardship that pushes her to her absolute physical and emotional limits. All throughout Catching Fire she cries with sorrow. She screams with pain. But her naked display of vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it is proof of her strength. For it takes great courage and strength to strip away the many layers of emotional armor and falseness that we become accustomed to wearing.
