No homework - Enjoy your weekend!

There is an optional extra credit activity available for students on Google Classroom :)

We started off the day today with a little peer editing of the paragraphs that students wrote last night.  We spent the remainder of class finishing up book report presentations.  I have been very impressed!

Tonight's Homework:
Read Chapter 18 and answer questions
Study for Ch. 15-17 vocabulary quiz!!  Use Quizlet!

Today in class, we created a top-down web together as a class to answer the question: "Explain how fear led to mob mentality and a hunt for a scapegoat in chapter 17".  For homework, students will use this web as an outline to create a paragraph answer to this question.

Completed Web

Today's Agenda:

• Do Now question in journals: How can fear and confusion affect people and their actions? What can it cause them to do? What do people tend to do when disaster strikes?  What is the first question usually asked?
• Watched videos on Scapegoat and Mob Mentality and wrote responses: Respond to each of the video clips with 2-3 sentences for each.  Use the word “scapegoat” in your first two answers, and use the word “Mob Mentality” in your third answer.
