FOCUS ON YOUR SCIENCE FAIR BOARD RIGHT NOW!!!
7th Grade hosts a FUNDRAISER -- SCIENCE FAIR DINNER
- will need parent volunteers
using resources/reading for information
I. JOUSTING search and find
- relax and warm up with search & find
- box ALL jargon or vocab words related to topic (show ability to recognize)
- underline key detail words (but not all words, be selective)
- fold in portion of paper and create list of notes from S&F, both text and visual
* be selective-- do not underline everything!
* turn in when you are ready for a grade
reading for information/selectively taking notes
II. HISTORY OF JOUSTING article
- read article silently first
- begin notes in SS Spiral
- copy teacher model notes (overhead) first, then continue on own until stopped
III. begin KNIGHT'S TALE starring Heath Ledger (teacher version/ NOT full version)
- purpose of using rock and roll music (Queen) to open movie
- plot, setting, character traits at start of film
- use dialogue to note/recognize themes/major ideas, etc.
- several themes that come up quickly:
* blunt language versuse flowery language (purpose/class distinction)
* base needs (hunger, physical, etc.) versus transcendental (spiritual, moral, etc.)
* social hierarchy/order of classes in middle ages (you stay in your place)
* what is an "American Sensibility" when discussing film or literature?
* notion of stars as bound/set or the idea of destiny
- note: crossroads, punishment for breaking social rules, history of first knights
- WHAT IS A KNIGHT?
- CAN YOU BE BORN A KNIGHT OR CAN YOU BECOME A KNIGHT?

HOMEWORK -- No homework for the night. Zero. Zilch.
