Day Four
Journal
When you decide on the quote you want to write about, come get a copy, tape it into your journal, then start writing.
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. Marc Chagall
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Marie Curie
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha
Started @ 8:22
Ending about 8:34-ish
We did not pair-share these today; we hung on to them, so we could use them (possibly) to help write our London Quote assignment this weekend.
Reading and Annotating: “How to Mark a Book”
- Let’s number the rest of our paragraphs.
- Starting with paragraph eight, read and annotate for the next fifteen minutes.
Annotation Directions:
- Here’s a paper copy of our current list of annotation possibilities.
- Look up words you don’t know, and write their definition next to the word in the text you’re reading.
- Wiki any references you’re unfamiliar with, so you have SOME idea what the writer is talking about.
- Started @ 8:40; ending at 9:00AM
Pair-Share your annotations with a new partner.
- What is DIFFERENT about your marginalia?
- What’s similar?
- What have we used most from the master list?
- What new, creative ways are we annotating?
We discussed responses as a class.
