3/12-3/14

For this lesson, we used a powerpoint presentation that illustrated things from the novel Things Fall Apart.  We discussed the culture here in our United States, and compared and contrasted it to the culture of the Igbo tribe in Umuofia before English colonization in the 19th century.  Students completed a graphic organizer which included 3 similarities and 3 differences in each of the societies.  Students will then use this graphic organizer tomorrow to write their final assessment for this unit.  They will be writing a four paragraph essay to show the differences.  They must use specific examples from the novel and from their own life experiences.

If you did not finish here is a link to the book:
