Welcome to the pathway to 16th and 17th Century Spain!

// Have you ever learned about a place or time by reading a book or watching a movie? // // Have you ever learned a lesson from a novel, poem, artwork, song, or a movie? // There is so much to learn from literature and good works of art. Open your eyes and your minds for a new look at history. We are going to learn about Spain and a very famous writer named Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra. Students will gain an understanding about his writing techniques and his peculiar writing style that blends truth and fiction. Students will uncover some important lessons that lie beneath the story and teach a greater message to society. Daily lessons will be posted here and students are expected to participate every day.

================================================================================== Rough Drafts and final drafts are due - Students are required to peer edit. Each class students were able to peer edit and practice delivering speeches. This rough draft counted as 2 class participation credits and was due on either the 17th or 21st depending on your meeting day. If you were unprepared you lost out on the peer feedback and the option for credit on that assignment. It counted for two assignments because we spent two full class periods working on the draft and a full class editing.
 * January 17 to January 24, 2014 **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will work in peer groups to rehearse their speeches and give feedback. Things to critique include:


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Is there an introduction, body and conclusion? Does each paragraph have a topic sentence?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">How clearly are the ideas expressed?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">How well is Don Quixote heard through the voice of the message?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What solutions are provided to address the problems?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What kind of support is given to solve the issues?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">How many sources were used for research? Is the bibliography in alphabetical order and formatted correctly?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">How can this speech be improved to really captivate, entertain, and educate the audience?

Projects are due on January 22nd and January 23. In the event that there are cancellations for snow, you MUST be prepared the next class that you see me. I will not print anything for you. We will start with those who are ready with printed speeches. If there isn't class time left to print your speech, the result will be a ZERO. COME PREPARED TO DELIVER YOUR SPEECH. IT IS CRUNCH TIME AND VERY FEW CLASSES LEFT IN THE TERM.

Please be advised that I will not print at the time of class but I would help you print in advance. I just don't have time during the class period to have students access google and print from one computer.
