Home Run!!! You will be able to identify the figurative language in the story and create a mock epic of their own. Follow the directions below to complete the activity. With your team, find all 5 QR codes that are hidden around the classroom. Note: do not get the same QR code more than once. Go to your assigned ipad or laptop for your group. If you’re using an ipad, click on the i-nigma app. If you’re using a laptop, click on QuickMark located on the desktop. Scan each code over the webcam in order to reveal the questions for the assignment. You will then access the reading selection “Casey at the Bat” in your Holt Textbook. Read the selection and write the text including the page number that answers the questions on your own sheet of paper. Use the writing prompt attached to continue completing the assignment. Review the rubric provided for the assignment in order to ensure that you have covered all aspects of the assignment. Once finished, turn in completed assignment to your teacher. This task uses: Common Core/NG Standard(s): RL.8.1 - Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text RL.8.4 - Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.* RI.8.4 - Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts. W.8.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade- specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1–3.) TEACHER NOTES: Teacher’s name/email: Taylor Alexander/taylor.alexander@cpsb.org School: Molo Magnet Middle School Grade Level/Subject: 8th Grade ELA Task Card Level: Three Special Directions/Considerations: Teachers need to make sure that all QR codes are made and hidden around the classroom.
