Extractions: 1. Students write in the notebook every day for the remainder of the quarter unless an exam or other hour-long activity is scheduled. The notebooks can be collected once a week; however, they are not graded and grammar is not checked. I typically read and respond to content. The daily writing gives students an opportunity to develop fluency without being overly concerned about accuracy. Because they will write in response to student-generated prompts, they have a measure of control over the subject matter. Since the prompts are related to the discourse type being studied at the time, they may elicit some of the grammatical items found in that cluster. 2. Begin class by brainstorming topics. Narrative tells what happened: when do we use (read/write/speak) narrative? In what situations? What are some examples? Examples on the board. Perhaps to include: talking to friends, telling them about what we've done, writing to friends, writing applications that ask for autobiographies, for example, if you apply to some graduate programs at Georgia Tech; newspaper/magazine news/interest stories, stories in fiction, history, business reports/scientific reports, police reports, obituaries. What are some questions that require narrative answers? Write the questions on the board.

Please give your suggestions and share that vast storehouse of knowledge all educators have at their disposal." The roots of Black History month can be traced to the early part of the 20th century. In 1925, Carter G. Woodson, an educator and historian began campaigning among schools, journals and black newspapers calling for a 'Negro History Week' to be celebrated. This would honor the importance of black achievement and contribution in the United States. He was able to institute this 'Negro History Week' in 1926 during the second week of February. This time was chosen because Abraham Lincoln's and Frederick Douglass' birthdays occurred then. Woodson was awarded the Springarn Medal from the NAACP for his accomplishment. In 1976, Negro History Week turned into Black History Month which we celebrate today. Read more about

Description: Describe to students the importance of the baobab tree to Africans. Procedure: Read aloud a book about the baobab or monkey-bread tree. Point out the difference between biological facts and legends about the tree. Emphasize these facts: The baobab is one of the world's oldest plants. It can live as long as a thousand years. It can grow sixty feet high, forty feet wide, and ten feet thick. It is sometimes called the upside-down tree because, when the leaves fall, its stunted limbs, protruding from a grotesquely thickened trunk, look like roots pointing at the sky. The baobab is a succulent plant so soft that a bullet can pass through it. Its spongy inner tissue stores water to help it survive drought.
