- We read about seventy minutes.
- We did some quick book briefs. (This is the book I'm reading, and what I like best so far about it is....)
- I had book chats with people who'd finished a book.
CREATIVE WRITING
Due
- Journal #1--we stapled the half-sheet on top, then threw it in the drawer.
Independent Reading
- We had fifteen minutes to read Earthbook, enjoy it, and find three pieces we might want to read aloud to the rest of the class.
Writing Reminder
- Don't plagiarize! We went over the worksheet over pages 4 and 5 (Academic Fraud; Earthbook Editorial Policy).
Writing Assignment
- We pair-shared about what we're expected to do (or not do) in our groups. I added a few items to clarify expectations.
- We reviewed the requirements for the Cliché Trio Story (page 11), and we reminded ourselves where the clichés were (online, and on pages 9-10 in our books).
- I passed out an example of the story (the one I read aloud yesterday) so people could see how to do the MLA format, how to edit dialogue, how to doublespace, etc.
- We had fifty minutes to work on our stories in our trios.
- We saved and printed at the end of the block.
Organization
- We passed back papers, and we logged in the three items we got back today.
Homework
- None
AP ENGLISH
Motifs
- I handed out notes on motifs, which we went over and discussed some.
- We pair-shared about the motifs we see in Frankenstein thus far.
- We got back together as a whole class, and we discussed what motifs we're seeing, as well as examples from the novel to show what we mean.
- We discussed and clarified elements of the novel as we did this--lots of thoughtful discussion!
Reading Quizzes--Frankenstein
- We took the time after lunch to take reading quiz #2 (through page 70), and people who needed to take reading quiz #1 did that as well.
- We had the rest of the time to read.
Homework
- Read through page 90 for tomorrow.
