ENGLISH 12·©2009MCPS English DRAFT·ENGLISH 12·©2009MCPS English 12.2 Unit 12.2: Joining the Conversation Enduring Understandings Effective reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing are essential for literate individuals. Effective communicators consider the words and ideas of others as they develop their own ideas. Language allows us to make sense of the world and bring about change. Literate individuals recognize the ethical use of language and have a responsibility to use language ethically. Essential Questions Why does my voice matter? How do I join the conversation? How does language reflect an understanding of the world? How do texts inform thinking and change understanding? How do writers and speakers ensure their voices are heard? Common Tasks Students should engage in a variety of tasks that demonstrate and deepen their learning. Teachers should provide specific instruction on strategies during each stage of the writing process for at least one of the common tasks. For other common tasks, teachers may focus instruction on one stage or may implement the tasks as homework, timed writings, presentations, or structured discussions.

  • Soil“ Traveling in Time and Space
    „Soil“ Traveling in time and space Lecture for Writers for Europe Prague Session 2018 By Jochen Brunow Soil. When I first heard the title for the Prague session of Writers For Europe, I marveled at how wonderfully specific and inspiring it would be for writing a screenplay. And when I was asked to give the keynote speech a whole lot of associations and mental images rushed through my mind immediately — memories of very different movies popped up. Scenes and sequences dashed by, as well as the recollection of many personal experiences. All of mankind works on soil, names it and describes it in different ways. We walk on soil, explore and discover it. We feel the soil and touch soil, we dig deep into it and build on it. Soil has a smell, a color and a sound. It evokes names and pictures and even history. Therefore soil can be read like a book. Actually, I think soil might be one of the most central ideas and concepts in religion, mythology, spirituality, science, even in ideology and politics. And because of this, it is very present in all forms of art. Being faced with this enormous amount of content, I was worried about how to find a framework for my lecture. But since I am a writer and not a scientist, I will be speaking as a screenwriter to fellow screenwriters and filmmakers. In the following, I will approach the idea of soil as if my task was to write a screenplay about it. Whenever I think about writing a film on a certain topic, I start to ask myself questions.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.
