On page 22, the author discusses how Yummy’s mom was not taking care of him and even went as far as to hurt him physically which showed him violence at a young age.

OR

Yummy wasn’t treated well by his parents as shown in the text when it states, “She neglected her kids and did bad things to them. So the cops took all of ‘em away” (Neri 22).

If you have a Google Slides, simply link it in. If you did a drawing or creating something by hand, take a picture or two and link them in. Let me know if you have any trouble handing in the project.

We will be working on this doc every day....together, in groups, and independently....

Select a character to create an obituary for...they could be dead, undead or alive. In complete sentences/ideas, fill out the graphic outline to help you gather your ideas about your character. Look back to Warm Bodies for reference. Characters You Can Select--‘R,’ Perry, ‘M’, Julie, Boneys, Col Grigio, Nora. If you choose a character that is still alive, you must decide how they die in the sequel (maybe they live to be 100 or maybe they die next week in a zombie attack). The character you choose for this will be the character you do your summative on as well...so choose wisely!

You have the entire period to complete this test. It is open note, open book, open whatever. IT MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE END OF CLASS OR IT WILL GO IN AS A ZERO.

Here are the sections:
1. The Hate You Give
2. Warm Bodies
3. Short Answer
4. Long Answer

For extra credit, finish the final by January 27th.

Breakout Room #3 - The apocalypse zombie: a response to civil rights and the Vietnam War

Introduction Slide Project

These are some weird times we are living in! Which makes getting to know each other a little different! Hopefully, I will have you all in front of me in a few months but in the meantime...tell me who you are! What should I know about you? What parts of your identity stand out the most?

This is also a brainstorm of sorts for your personal statement! I modeled this in my introduction, but here are the specifics!

Format: Google Slide with voice over (see How to in Google Slides: Youtube video attached) or use any of the platforms in Adobe Spark with voice or create a 3 page book on Book Creator or Flipgrid or...
**If you have a platform you would like to use that I have not mentioned, please ask!!

Must include:
-->Tell me about two aspects of your life. For example, mine talked about me professionally as a teacher and personally as a mother & wife. You could talk about who you are as a student and an athlete or student and worker or school vs home or any other two aspects of your identity!
-->Animation! Make it fancy!
-->Voice over elaborating on the bullet points in presentation (1-1.5 mins...not long)
-->If using Google Slides, use no more than two slides
-->IMAGES! This can be pics of you or images/symbols that represent who you are….get creative!
