Eng 9: Freaks and Geeks and Speak with Ms Pulito

Hi folks,

These are the graphic organizers and blog prompts from when I was away and Ms. Pulito was running the show.

Speak
Empathy Map on “Freaks and Geeks” Character

Your task is to create an empathy map based on a character from “Freaks and Geeks” that we did not examine together during class. Use the things they say and do in Episode 1 to help you determine what they may be thinking or feeling. Make sure to include specific details and interpretations. Then, write a 2-3 paragraph blog post in which you send this character to Mt. Blue High School for a day. What happens? Where do they go? Who do they talk to? How do they get along with the students and teachers? Use your empathy map to help you decide!

Character’s Name: _____________________________________

Speak

Feature Chart: Comparing Mt. Blue High School, Merryweather High School (from Speak), and McKinley High School (from “Freaks and Geeks”)

Give each school a “rating” of 1-5 for each criteria, with a score of 1 meaning “nonexistent” and a score of 5 meaning “very prominent.” Then, provide a 1-2 sentence justification for your rating. For the last category, come up with a criteria that you feel is somehow expressed in each of the three schools (examples might include skipping classes, positive--or negative--student/teacher interactions, parent involvement, athletics, art, etc).
