Myth Beast Powerpoints:  Models and Turn-In Procedure

1. Check on the models for your myth beast powerpoint, so you you can begin with the end in mind.

5. Use google presentation, and save it in the folder called “MYTH BEAST SLIDESHOW PRESENTATIONS” as “BEAST NAME--YOUR NAME”.

Investigate here, to decide who you want to research:

• http://www.thehellenictimes.com/beasts.html

• http://www.greek-gods.info/monsters/

• http://edweb.sdsu.edu/people/bdodge/scaffold/gg/creature.html

5) If you find a myth beast or creature you want to claim, e-mail me who you want, and a sentence about why you want them.  (Ideally, they have a connection with your Barbie god or goddess.)

I’ll show you who’s already taken.

Research Time (Start in class, and finish for homework.)

1. Read your yellow biography about your myth creature.
2. Highlight or annotate details you might want to use on your powerpoint.

CREATIVE WRITING

Monday, November 3, 2014

Day Ten

Housekeeping

1. Please sign in.
2. Get a “Cliché Pair Story Comments” sheet.
3. Put your phone in the hostage center, please.
4. Share your WE#4 (Halloween Writing Prompt) with me, and make sure it says “can edit.”

Sharing:  Cliché Trio Stories Aloud

1. We are going to read these stories aloud; split the story in half to share the reading, or alternate reading, using your dialogue for help.
2. Here is your paper copy, which you will return to me after you read it aloud!
3. I’ll have your story up on the screen.
4. Commenting:  for each story, audience members make three comments on the handout.  Let’s talk about those now.
5. I need someone to scroll down the stories as they’re being read—who can do that for me?
6. After you read your story, we’re going to EDIT them together on the big screen—this is for EVERYONE, so EVERYONE needs to stay engaged and to help us.

We spent the last ten minutes either studying quizlet terms, or making sure we had our Earliest Memory complete for tomorrow’s work session.
