Sharing Aspects of '60s Culture

Before our collages go on display, we are sharing them with you! Enjoy!

Today in Language Arts we practiced comparing and contrasting texts. Since authors have different ideas about the same topic and very different ways of expressing themselves, often their tone, style, and personality come through. When comparing two passages, we have to consider the following areas: genre, topic, range of information, quality and amount of supporting details, organization, and author's attitude/purpose. For practice, we read two passages and noted comparisons and contrasts on a Venn Diagram. As a group, we discussed our findings. Everyone worked hard! We were deep thinkers!
