12.19 - Sanctions in Lisbon

Today in class we began looking at the sanctions teenagers experience in their everyday lives. We began this process by having everyone take ten minutes (in teams of 2 - 3) to walk around the school and look for sanctions that exist as part of our school environment using the 24 hours of sanctions sheet.

For the rest of the day, everyone should continue to keep an eye out for and record sanctions that they observe in their classes, the halls, extracurricular activities, and at home. We will then be using these everyday sanctions to look at how realistically the sanctions in a book like Speak are represented.

For the rest of the class, everyone was working on completing the following assignments:

Finish the Poetry Out Loud theme prompt.

 

Finish responding to the "fitting in" Speak prompt.

 

Read "Marking Period 4" of Speak and take note of sanctions experienced by Melinda in the character group you are tracking.
