Period 1 and 2
We started our Light in the Forest Unit by researching about the novel. Our table groups were assigned one topic (author background, Fort Pitt, PA, The Allegheny/Ohio/Muskingum Rivers/ White-Indian Culture Relationships/White Captives in the 17th Century) to gain historical perspective that will help with understanding this novel. We created documents and then shared our findings with our small group, creating an information sheet to share with the class.
Homework for tomorrow: Complete the following three sentences:
1. I will always remember__________________________
2. I will always remember__________________________
3. I will always remember__________________________Each sentence should be a separate memory that could be a possible topic for your Memoir.
Also, finish and bring the vocab sheet you received on Friday. We will correct it in class.
