English 12 (E block)
- Today in class, I gave you a packet of poems/short readings. Read JUST the one called "On Turning Ten" (it's the last in the packet).
- As you read, annotate the text with your observations, questions and connections. ("This reminds me of..." "I wonder..." "I notice...") Write notes in the margins. Don't just highlight/underline.
- Then, write a 2 paragraph response:
- paragraph 1: Summarize the poem
- paragraph 2: Respond to the poem...what do you notice/think about it?
- Read your independent reading book!
- Get your syllabus signed if you haven't already!
Reader's/Writer's Workshop 8 (F block)
- Spend at least 10 minutes working on your story that you started in class today. You might:
- Finish the story (some of you were just getting to the good part!)
- Revise or add to what you started in class today.
- If you're done with the one you wrote in class today, write another story! You might pick another event off of your A-Z list.
- Get an independent reading book!
English 11 (G block)
- Read your independent book for 15 minutes--be ready to write about it tomorrow!
- Get your syllabus signed if you haven't already!
English 11 (A block)
- Write a two-paragraph response to the film we started in class today, "30 Days on a Reservation" with Morgan Spurlock.
- In paragraph one, write a SUMMARY of the film (I know we didn't finish--summarize what we did watch). Use the notes from your graphic organizer...information from the first two columns, "words/phrases/sentences" and "images" might be part of your summary.
- In paragraph two, write a RESPONSE to the film--what you think, notice and wonder so far. Information from the third column in the graphic organizer ("my thoughts and questions") might be part of your response.
