Summary

This unit analyzes The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and how the historical context enabled for mistreatment and discrimination to occur to the Lacks family. Using the insight of patient privacy that we have now, it is easy to see what injustice the family suffered, however, at the time, it was debatable as to whether consent was required. We presented our knowledge in a variety of ways: fishbowl discussions, TIEAs, blog posts, verbal analysis, and reflections.

In this, you’ll find how a woman who died so young, was able to live forever.

Who are we? What do we want to express? How can we show that?

This poetry unit was centered around self expression and methods to help us convey our thoughts to the audience. Whether it was through discussion of author’s intent to reading our memories out loud. Through reading, writing, and listening to poems, we got to feel the all emotions of the poets. The joy of going to a basketball game, the grief of losing someone, every heartbreak. Poetry is powerful in that it helps people connect.

Overview of Unit

During this unit, we learned about the Salem Witch Trials through reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller. We annotated the text and analyzed it in a multiple of ways including TIEA, blog posts, dramatic readings, sketchnotes, post its, and book snaps. The historical significance of this book was brought back to life through the characters and imagining of what their lives were like. By reading this book, we learned about how people’s morality were judged by people in charge who abused their power and took advantage of their position in order to benefit themselves.

Dystopia: A Perfect Society?

This is a post for our Language Arts unit on dystopian societies and our version of utopia.

These are my TIEA paragraphs of the novel I read, Insignia, and a short dystopian novel,
The Pedestrian.

These are pictures of the map of my perfect society, and its flag, money, and uniforms.

 

Here are the rules as to how my society functions, and what you can expect to see in it:

These are the pictures that I took of my annotation on the book Insignia.

Here is my screencast on the theoretically perfect society, or at least what a perfect society is to me. However, this society obviously is not perfect because everyone has their own idea of perfect, and my idea of perfect is not necessarily everyone’s idea of perfect.
