Unit: Rumford or Cape? Understanding Culture Through Yearbooks

Learning Target: I can explain how culture determines and influences people's behavior and values.

KEY LEARNING: Wherever you live, your values will be shaped by the culture that surrounds you. And your values guide your decisions.

Change in plans: we will NOT be doing a Loom video with the yearbook.  Instead, you will be using one (CCR), or two (H) charts in your paper to talk about the power of culture.

1) Warm up activity: Pick a yearbook year, and prepare to tell the class what you would look like if you lived during that time.

2) If you lived in Cape and explain what you would think is important if you lived in the school.

3) Grab the charts you need and paste them into your Rumford-Cape document.

4) Now we will look at ways that we can write about this issue of the power of culture (with links to web sites that will help with each style):

     -Express & reflect

     -Inform & explain (can't use this one!)

     -Evaluate & judge

     -Inquire & explore

     -Analyze & interpret

     -Take a stand & propose solution

We will put these on the board and use turn and talk to identify how you could write about the power of culture.
