October 11, 2010

Homework:
Pictionaries 1-10 Unit 3

Today:
We listened to and discussed words 1-10 Unit 3.
We read "Thank you, M'am" by Langston Hughes.
We discussed the ideas of internal and external conflict.
We discussed cause and effect.  I also discussed the Butterfly Effect that Dr. Carmack mentioned on the morning announcements.
We watched this video as an example of the above terms.
Notice how in the video there is external conflict between the man and the boy.  The man has internal conflict because he struggles with a solution.  The Butterfly Effect is seen through his response.  If he has patience, the effects will be passed on.  (Likewise, if he did something bad, that would be passed on as well!)
