watching this sophomores.

Uh this video is for those of you who have

to be gone um whether the quarantine sports, what have

you and Agnes are lectures, I'm recording this before school.

I'll do some after school as well.

That way I can remove my mask and uh I

can project a little bit easier and less less muscle.

I wanted to go over what we did yesterday on

for 14 1914 and what we're going to go over

today, 1915 on another one Um for the previous day.

If you're one please go over this google slides.

Remember this is on the classroom, down at the bottom

and of course work classwork.

This uh this slide, you should check every single day.

Uh The writing prompt is on the next slide.

Please make sure you go to the next slide, You

visit that and you write on that front for at

least five minutes.

Okay. We want to work into that habit of writing

as much as possible in a short amount of time.

Please double click the poetry for this week.

Uh You don't need to take a break unless you

really need to.

I want to talk about what an essay is.

We all know what an essay is.

We've written, we've written these lengthy five paragraph essays that

kind of sap our soul what I really want to

incorporate. Yes.

Moving into the more creative aspects of the essay and

how to use that in a positive manner.

That makes us happier to write essays or at least

less painful.

Um and we're going to do that in a number

of ways.

Videos, audio recordings, other things that we are going to

either do or participate in The 1st 1.

I want you to click on this essay.

Visual, Okay.

It is about synesthesia, which is a medical term for

the crossing of senses.

This is a video of somebody who sees sounds as

flashes of color and how she lives her life because

it's really important.

I mean, we often consider different perspectives, different uh different

community, skin colors, identities and orientations when we think about

our communities, but we often don't think about those of

us who experience the world in a totally different fashion.

That's so foreign to us.

Watch this video, it's about seven minutes past this, watch

that one and then come back to this.

Okay, so you've watched that video, It's pretty incredible.

All right.

The light show, I can't imagine if that's what she's

seeing all the time.

That's I'd be pretty overwhelming.

Especially as a kid.

I think what we want to do is we're gonna

break this down into several bits.

Okay, I want us to come up with our own

title for this.

It's got a title, but part of creativity is coming

up with our own explanations of things.

So uh come up with the title.

My classes yesterday came up with the S word, which

I really like synesthesia, but it's also uh multiple means

there. Uh Hearing color is a great title.

Seeing sound.

Perhaps I love that.

That's got great alliteration, how I see the world.

That's brilliant.

I love that.

Those are great titles that help explain a little bit

more about the I say without getting into the s

what we do.

Then if you can see this over here, we look

at the purpose.

What is the purpose?

You can think of the purpose as a visa statement

or a hypothesis or a topic And those are just

synonyms for purpose here.

The purpose of this my class came up with is

to explain her unique situation for others or to show

everyone how she sees music or sound one sentence.

Very simple.

Okay, don't overthink these things.

Once we have the purpose, what we want to do

that is really get into what is some evidence that

proves that purpose that shows that purpose.

One she gave a demonstration of her situation.

They're breaking again to the things that she did or

talked about.

Two, she explained the science or gave data in fact

And three.

She gave a story about her life.

Okay. She demonstrated, she explained and she gave a story,

those three things together combined bring the purpose to life

and fill out this essence.

Yeah. Now you've done that the next example that I

want you to do that has an assignment attached to

it. I've attached the assignment output and haven't yet put

into the classroom.

But I will be here shortly listen to this.

This is our very first this, I believe.

That's it.

Okay. This is an essay entitled remembering all the boys

by of the baptista out of California.

It's very short, maybe 300 words long.

She needs it out loud, which is one reason I

love this.

I believe we can hear it as well as read

along. Listen to it as many times as you need.

Okay. And then click here and use this organizer to

break the essay down into little bits.

Your guys who's going to look like this.

I don't know if you can see it actually.

It's the name of your essay now.

The name that the author wrote was remembering all the

boys, but I encourage you to come up with a

creative name that tries to capture some scene.

one of the themes of the Spanish And give us

salary three sentences or less.

There is beauty in brevity.

What was the overall idea or purpose and then three

supporting details that explain the purpose.

Okay, this is direct evidence.

It's best when we use quotes for this.

Okay. Uh, reach out to me if you have any

questions or if you are confused by something email or

I'm happy to set up a google meets meeting before

school or after school and keep looking for more of

these videos and more work.

Uh, coming up on the classroom.

Okay, I hope you are well and or if you're

not that you are getting well soon, and I hope

to see you back in class as soon as possible,

take care.
