Today, we had a brief escape from the classroom since my room is being painted. We spent time either in the library or in the outdoor classroom doing a Socratic Seminar over the article An American Honor Killing. You could earn 10 XP for reading the article, and then 10 points for each significant comment or question asked. This is a 40 point assignment. If you weren’t here, you can earn some points by reading the assignment, but you’ve missed the Speaking and Listening Nuggets.

You can read this from the link provided above, but I would suggest that you read the printed paper copy that I have in my classroom. The reason that I’d suggest the paper copy is because I have highlighted and color coded names. The people involved do not have Western/American names, and I found it very hard to keep track of the actors involved, so I color coded it. You can also see a few of my comments on the last two pages.
