5/10 The Greater the Struggle the More Glorious the Triumph

Whenever you need help, please ask for it.

Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

• understand how the impact we can have on others.
• understand not to underestimate yourself.

Why?

• To become better people.

1.  With another near you, discuss - in your own words - why you are in social studies today (see above). 2 minutes

NOTE: Whenever you are waiting for Mr.d'E or others so you can complete a next step, appropriately comment on other students blogs: Give a compliment; respond to something specific (what did it make you think, do you agree/disagree - why), extend the conversation (add a relevant question; share what other ideas came to your mind as you read the post); do NOT critique their writing/thoughts. You may ALSO reply appropriately to comments left on your blog posts.

2.  Discuss w/class: What do you think of the circus?    5 minutes

3.  View the Butterfly Circus as a class.     25 minutes

4.  In your group, discuss the focus questions.  Be prepared to share your thoughts.    15 minutes

5.  Quote "poster".    15 minutes

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"

Ask them.......

• Tell me what the Butterfly Circus was about? Who is Mendez? Who is Will?
• What did you learn from Mendez? Will? The Butterfly Circus?
