Day 27
Homework Due
· Please open your yellow packet to page 6, and write your name in big letters across the top. Leave it on the circle table. I’ll check it while you’re journaling and taking the quiz. Thank you!
· Does anyone need me to go over the plans for the week, especially Thursday and Friday, or has someone already done that with you guys?
Journal (Start at 11:30; end at 11:40)
· Review Friday’s journal over self-definition and identity.
· Write for a few minutes about who Esperanza is. (Use your book as needed, and answer as many of the following questions as you can.)
o How did she get her name?
o What does her name mean?
o How does she feel about it?
o Who is she?
o Who does she want to be?
· Pair-share with someone new. (Don’t forget to sign each other’s journal!)
· If you finish early, and you’ve exhausted all possible topics for the above prompts, make a list of questions you have about the first third of the novella.
Reminders
· I will be checking your annotations for the novel. Most likely, I will wait until the end of the reading to do this. But it will be an important homework grade.
· Let’s look at Alex M’s example of leaving breadcrumbs. Are you doing that with your annotations?
Quiz
· Pages 3-33
· You must stay silent, until I tell you everyone’s quiz is in. If you are talking for any reason, you will have to take a zero on the quiz.
Re-reading
· When you finish the quiz, please go back to your annotations for pages 3-33
· Start filling out page 8 and page 11.
Class Discussion and Trios
· After everyone’s finished the quiz, we’ll get into trios to complete all of page 8 and all of page 11.
