Today was a great first day of class. We had some ice breakers and then dove right into the learning with our first group assignment--a summary response paper. Students should make sure to join the Google classroom for their weekly at home assignment.
Continue working on summary/response (check our Google Classroom).
Today we did a little ACT prep and focused on a few key tips. Then we discussed what was missing from the summary/responses that were submitted last week. Remember to revise your summary/response that is due today. Then we began discussing Animal Farm. For HW this week, check the Google Classroom. There are two articles in there as well as reading assignment. You also need to complete your cute little bookmark!
Today we had some great discussions centered around Animal Farm. Please check the Google classroom for your assignment (3-5) and (6-7) and articles. We will turn in all weeks bookmarks (chapters 1-7) and articles next week.
Today we finished up our discuss of Animal Farm and completed an Odd One Out quiz. Students have really enjoyed reading this text and I've really enjoyed listening to them debate about it! We'll start Night for the next two weeks and we're working on our first literary analysis paper (Thematic). Check the Google classroom for more information.
Today we had an amazing discussion about the first section of Night. Please finish reading Night and complete the two bookmarks that accompany. Also write your Thematic analysis paper, which we went over based upon your outlines. Check the Google classroom for more info! Once Thematic analysis papers are graded, I will send a progress report grade for the semester.
Today we did a quick paper reflection (Those are due at midnight tonight). Then we read a spooky short story called The Yellow Wallpaper. It was written in 1892 and highlights a lot of issues about mental health, women's treatment, and ideals about recovery for the time period. Check the Google classroom for specific homework.
Today we really did a deep dive on The Yellow Wallpaper. It was a great class. I'm very impressed with the discussion I heard and most groups were diligent in getting their work finished. I am working on getting the first papers graded. We'll be starting our research paper soon, so I should have those completed by this weekend. Check the classroom for HW this week! We're reading another spooky story!
