When You Come In

1. Please sign in.

4. If you missed the Oedipus Final yesterday, come in during QST today to make it up, please.

Review from Yesterday (One minute) This is a fable.  What is a fable?  :-) short animals are the main characters fictional teaches a moral or a lesson

Vocabulary (Five minutes) Discuss your EXEMPLARS on the vocab sheets. Remember, you need TWO examples for each word.  If you hear one from someone else that makes perfect sense to you, write it down.  But it will be most effective if you think of one of your own--brain research.

Pair-Share  (People who were absent yesterday should read and annotate in the library during this time.) Compare your character lists.  Revise as needed. ...NO LATER THAN 12:10--Discuss as many of the Study Guide Questions as you can in the time I give you.  You do not need to write anything down--just discuss like college students!  The questions are in our class google folder, in the Animal Farm folder. Feel free to skip around, but answer as many as you can together:  https://docs.google.com/a/washington.k12.ia.us/document/d/1ZTENsnGz1hrOxJCu5GWK-q_rmU4Wu7clFgTMGzzlWa4/edit

Quiz:  Chapters 1-2 Take the quiz on schoology.  You may only be on the quiz--if you’re anywhere else, you receive a zero for the quiz. When you finish the quiz, start reading and annotating chapters 3, 4, and 5 of Animal Farm. If you were absent yesterday, you will take the quiz Monday, along with chapters 3, 4, and 5.

READING AND ANNOTATING DIRECTIONS FOR TODAY When you read and annotate today, strive to reach for other texts and visuals.  Try to weave that spiderweb of connections.  Connect the dots!  Look for and find patterns, like Professor Foster says. Vocabulary Get out your two vocab lists.  You should be on the lookout for CONNECTIONS as you are reading today. HIGHLIGHT vocab words when you see them, and write the definitions out to the side as part of your annotating, please. Animal Farm Reading Assignment Read chapters THREE, FOUR AND FIVE, PAGES 14-31. Annotate carefully: make inferences ask questions make predictions make connections highlight (or underline) vocab and define it Add to and refine your list of characters in your notes to keep them straight; list characteristics each time the animal is mentioned. We will have a reading quiz Monday over chapters 3, 4, and 5.
