HW: Vocab cards (prefixes sub, syn, trans--see sheet for more variations of those prefixes)
Read Chapter Five ( X ) of My Brother Sam is Dead (expect a reading check)
Activity: In journals, write the following: The tone of my petition is________________,________________
Let's see how accurate your writing tone is. Pass your petitions clockwise. The person will read your petition and determine the tone. You may refer to the tone handout if you're at a loss for words. Write the tone on the back of the petition.
Petition--tone questions on board
Freewrite: What is perspective? Does everyone have the same perspective? Why or why not?
Perspective-your attitude or point of view on something; how you see something.
Then: Compare the petition to the issues raised in the book (especially at the beginning of chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3)
Form a scripted debate between Tories and Patriots: Bring up issues for and against going to war---but you must base your responses on the book and the petition.
