- If you haven't already, finish up that "Back to School..." sheet!
- Finish the activity that we started in class today. I've posted the model below. On the lined part at the bottom, you should choose ONE of the three motifs you identified, and explain how that motif is shown in the examples you chose, as well as in others that you might think of.
- Start studying that vocabulary! Check out vocabulary.com if you want to see more examples of how to use the words.
English 12 (E block)
Today in class, each of you shared a story or thought about a time when you were new to an environment. You talked about some of the challenges (new buildings! not knowing where to go! new language!) and some of the feelings (confusion...sadness at leaving friends behind...trauma--feeling forced to do something that you didn't want to...feeling left out...) that come along with the experience of moving to a new place.
- Keeping that in mind...start reading the story "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves." Use the notes that I started for you, and annotate your observations, questions and connections.
- Additionally, make sure you've read, and marked up the "Later to rise..." article and answered the four questions.
- Lastly, make sure you finish up the "Back to School..." handout.
Readers/Writers Workshop 8 (F block)
- Today in class, we talked about beginnings! Your task was to identify what type of beginning your narrative has. Then, you were to write two alternate beginnings. Finally, you should reread all of the work you've done, and decide which beginning you want to keep. Make sure you leave all of your beginnings on your Google document, so I can give you credit. If you didn't finish this work in class, you should finish for homework.
