Join Ray parents and staff to view and discuss the first episode of the critically-acclaimed documentary series, America to Me. The series explores issues of race and inequity at Oak Park River Forest High School. From 6:00-8:00 on Thursday, April 4, we will gather to eat, watch, talk about the episode and how it relates to our own experiences. 7th and 8th graders are welcome to attend with a parent. Childcare will be provided for younger children. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
Fortunately, ESL is back in full swing with no foreseen interruptions for standardized testing.
We are embarking on a unit about different ancient civilizations. The vocabulary that will carry over from lesson to lesson throughout the unit are as follows: geography, civilization, ancient, invention, myth, religion, monument. These words are displayed in class on a quadrilingual, illustrated word wall (English, Mandarin, Korean & Spanish). To further our investigation of Egypt for the beginning of this unit, we will be supported by the Field Museum's "Life Along the Nile" experience box. We will investigate with realia how the Nile River was a source of water and life for the Ancient Egyptians. Within the box, we will examine a fishing net, papyrus paper, and other tools used by ancient Egyptians to identify common themes of life along the Nile. We will learn to operate a model of a shaduf, an ancient water-lifting device still in use today. As a culminating activity, we will hold a debate about whether life in Ancient Egypt could have existed without the Nile River. We will be incorporating reading (comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, citing text evidence), writing (asking questions and expressing opinions with support from text evidence), social studies (geography) and science (simple machines) throughout this unit of study. |
