Monday: Brainstorming Beliefs

To Start:

• Get illustrative! Find, sketch or take a picture of something important to you. It could be a thing, a place, an activity, or something else. 
• In your starter document:
  • ​What did you illustrate? Either include the picture, or describe it for me.
  • Why is it important to you? What role has it played in your life?
  • What have you learned from it?
• Show and tell with your table.

Classwork:

• As a table, brainstorm as many beliefs as you can. (Personal, social, political, spiritual, etc.)
• Choose one belief to crunch in into ten word statement.
• Conference with a peer about your idea.
• Complete the brainstorming chart.
• Work time!
  
  

Homework:

• Quiz on Wednesday (tomorrow!). Review Friday's notes and classwork.
• Peer critique on Thursday. Bring two printed copies of your essay.
• Starters due on Friday.
