When You Come In
- Please sign in.
- If you have time before 8:10, get on quizlet, and click on “Test,” and take that test before we take the quiz on paper in class.
Vocabulary
- Take the quiz; turn it in to the drawer.
- Grab FIVE yellow Greek Myth Figures sheets off the stool or table by Brittany.
- Get on quizlet, and study the new words for a few minutes.
- I pulled these from the Foster article you read and annotated yesterday, except “chutzpah”. He’s a synonym for “hubris,” and he’s Yiddish. Make sure you click on the microphone icon to HEAR how this is pronounced--the same goes for “voila!”
Barbie Presentation Prep
- Get with a partner, and tell one of your figure’s stories clearly. Time each other; don’t go over sixty seconds or so.
- Find a new partner, and rehearse the same story again, timing each other as well.
- Repeat until you’ve told your story five times. The goal is to work the kinks out of your story, so that when you present to the class, the story really flows.
- I gave an example, and Sydney was my guinea pig partner.
- Tell me if I “digress”! :-)
Big Idea
- Listen and look now for resonances, echoes, patterns.
- What have you heard so far?
