This is the start to a short week for me as I have to take a personal day Friday for my other job, which means I'm sure these 4 days will feel like 6. Today is a red day, which means a fresh rotation to start the week, but only one oasis this week.
In English 12, we discussed some instances of friendly fire in the US military. In our book, we just came across a part where friendly fire kills some men in another unit, so I wanted to show that this type of tragedy does happen in real life. I divided the class and had a few small articles for them to review and read and share out with the class. We then watched a 60 Minutes segment on Pat Tillman and his friendly fire death and how it was falsified and dramatized. We then compared this to how there were some scandals or inaccurate reports that were seen in our book as well.
For creative writing, I had them write about a time they go in trouble in their lives, and they had to use the voice of the age they were when they got in trouble.
