Launching
To begin our unit we will be doing
KWL chart as a class, before we seperate them into their designated groups.
The students will do a KWL chart. This enables students to tell what they
KNOW, what they WANT to learn, and at the end of this unit they will fill
out the L, which stands for what they LEARNED. This helps students to began
thinking about their previous knowledge on slavery and helps them think
about what they want to learn through literature circles.
After we have done a KWL chart we will introduce topics
that each group will be doing. The next day we will start the literature
circles.
