HW Mr. Padilla 6.20.17

Dear parents/guardians,

Please read this paragraph with your child so you may review the topic with them which will aloow them to better understand the connections. We have been discussing all these ideas in class.  Below are some images and 3 task option


We have been reading about immigrants telling their experiences about hard work in America. We have also read about how Andrew Carnegie worked hard and went from being a poor boy to becoming the richest man in the world.  We watched selected scenes about a movie called Spare Parts, where 4 poor High school students from Arizona participated in a robotics competition and beat 12 of the best colleges in the United States.  Finally, we have been studying the Fault In Our Stars, where two teenagers refuse to stop living even though they know they have a short time to live.

These stories teach us about the value of hard work, about perseverance (not giving up), about seeing our dreams through regardless if others believe what we want is impossible!  


Level 1:  List what you see.  What do you know about these images?

Level 2: Compare the images based on what you know: What do they have in common?

Level 3: Create a conversation between characters or people from the images: If they could all meet in a room what would they talk about?
