After reading a work of literature as a class, students will brainstorm "crimes" committed by characters from that text. Groups of students will work together to act as the prosecution or defense for the selected characters, while also acting as the jury for other groups. Students will use several sources to research for their case, including the novel and internet resources. All the while, students will be writing a persuasive piece to complement their trial work.

While this lesson uses Shakespeare's The Tempest, there are several other text options. Handouts (except for the model case handout) are generic so that they can be used with any text.

Your objective is to locate an earthquake and measure its Richter magnitude using real data recorded by seismographs.

Step one: Point your web browser to Virtual Earthquake to start
Step two: Read the instructions on that page, select an earthquake, and click on Submit Choice.
Step three: View the seismograms, measure S-P intervals, convert them, determine the distances from the earthquake to the 3 stations using a chart provided on the page, and compare your results with the real epicenter. If you get an "Ooops" or "you are close". you have to re-measure the S-P intervals and the distances.
Step four: After the earthquake is located, go on to determine its Richter magnitude.
Step five: Get yourself certificated as a "Virtual Seismologist". Print out the page which contains the Certificate and the Final Data Summary that shows what you have entered. Turn in this page with your name and ID at the top to receiver credit.

This unit is a study of the shifts in narrative voice and literary genres that Melville makes throughout Moby-Dick. It serves to introduce students to several unique features of the novel without demanding as much class time as would reading the entire text. The lessons comprise a series of close readings of passages from the novel.

Metropolis (1927) is a German expressionist science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang with screenplay by Thea von Harbou. It was adapted with Lang from von Harbou's novel (1925) also called Metropolis. It stars Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and Brigitte Helm. Made in Germany during the Weimar period, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia that is sharply divided between the working class and elite. Original Score by Gottfried Huppertz. Freder the son of the wealthy and powerful city master, Joh Fredersen, falls in love with Maria, a prophetic figure to the working class. The film length was cut back after its original German premiere, with restoration efforts finding footage recovered from Argentina and New Zealand to bring it close its original. The film has a fairy tale like plot of uniting the classes with an ending title reading "The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart." It is considered to be one of the best 100 films of all time.

Invite students to share and discuss a song of their choice with lyrics that contain a social, political or cultural message relevant to a contemporary social justice issue. Students will lead their peers through a close reading and discussion of the song’s lyrics, and create a written analysis of the song, its lyrics, and its message. To help anchor their analysis, teachers may use the Critical Literacy Text-Dependent Question Stems template in the lesson. Students can organize their writing along the eight areas, while choosing from the list of prompts in each area. (Note: Teacher discretion will be necessary for handling lyrics that use explicit language.) Use the suggested activity and strategies below to empower students to lead the lesson with their peers as the students.

En este módulo de 25 días de grado 2, los estudiantes amplían su habilidad y comprensión de las unidades agrupando, decenas y cientos de hasta mil con pajitas. A diferencia de la longitud de 10 centímetros en el módulo 2, estos paquetes son conjuntos discretos. Una unidad puede ser agarrada y contada como un plátano? 1cientos, cientos, 3cientos, etc. Un número en el Grado 1 generalmente consistía en dos unidades, decenas y otras diferentes. Ahora, en el grado 2, un número generalmente consta de tres unidades: cientos, decenas y otras. Las unidades agrupadas se organizan separándolas más grandes a más pequeñas, ordenadas de izquierda a derecha. En el transcurso del módulo, la instrucción se mueve de los paquetes físicos que muestran la proporcionalidad de las unidades a discos de valor del lugar no proporción y a los números en la tabla de valor del lugar.

English Description:
In this 25-day Grade 2 module, students expand their skill with and understanding of units by bundling ones, tens, and hundreds up to a thousand with straws. Unlike the length of 10 centimeters in Module 2, these bundles are discrete sets. One unit can be grabbed and counted just like a banana?1 hundred, 2 hundred, 3 hundred, etc. A number in Grade 1 generally consisted of two different units, tens and ones. Now, in Grade 2, a number generally consists of three units: hundreds, tens, and ones. The bundled units are organized by separating them largest to smallest, ordered from left to right. Over the course of the module, instruction moves from physical bundles that show the proportionality of the units to non-proportional place value disks and to numerals on the place value chart.
