Thursday, September 13

Objective: SWBAT devise the meaning of words by reading them in context.  SWBAT describe the impact the Negro Leagues had on baseball.

Do-Now: List THREE facts you remember from yesterday's article on "The Negro Leagues."  (These do NOT have to be the same facts you used for classwork.)

Today: 1) Review the article "The Negro Leagues."  What are the most important facts to take away from this article?

2) Re-read sections of "The Negro Leagues" containing challenging vocabulary words.  Attempt to devise the meanings of these words by reading them in context: dispensation, gibberish, forerunners, ramshackle, ostensibly, inconspicuous, congenial, heckling, aptly, barnstormed, powerhouse, tandems, deadpan, disbanded, posthumously, retroactively, faux, nostalgia.

3) Finish working on folders/portfolios.  Presentations will be TOMORROW!

Homework: Bring in notebook for class.  Portfolio presentations tomorrow!
