DAY 3 Class choral reading. Ask one student to read the quotation from the program again. At the end of the reading, have two students join the first student to reread the quote above. Students should discuss how important small individual efforts are to developing strong group efforts. Have them stop and pause the video footage to freeze-frame images for their cartoon square.
Students can then organize all of their cartoons in a comic page format for a school display.
Using the charts created by the cooperative groups, have students pick out any ten phrases and write a poem about their thoughts and reactions to the program. Illustrate the poem and share it with classmates. Mount the poems on tagboard to create an accordion book to share with other classes. As a homework assignment, have students interview their parents about their heritage. Each student can give an oral presentation or make a poster of their family's journey.
