English 2

Today in class, students got themselves in the right frame of mind to begin our holocaust literature unit. They started class by answering some anticipation questions, first from their own points-of-view, and then from the point-of-view of a Jewish person during the holocaust. After answering the questions, students used the lists of "stuff" they wrote about themselves for homework to create their own "word clouds" similar to the ones seen on Wordle.net. Students also received a demonstration for how to set up Twitter accounts so that they can receive the text message homework reminders for class. If students don't remember all the steps, or if parents are also interested in joining to receive the reminders, here is a how-to video:
