--Attendance taken.
--The following information shared with the class:
- A NOTE FROM MR. MARTIN: "During today's 'Hooked on Books' block, you are expected to read/take notes quietly and independently--the room should look and sound exactly as it did during Hooked on Books earlier in the school year. If you are off task (or fall asleep--yikes!), your name will be reported to Mr. Martin so that he can write a referral."
- Read pages 179-241. Work on character posters (if any of your characters "show up" in this section of the reading) and complete Post-its (focus especially on flagging seemingly important passages).
--The due date for submitting a revised Ayn Rand Essay Contest paper for the Writing Portfolio is May 15th (1.5 weeks from today)--do you want/need to revise? Don't forget to schedule a meeting with Mr. Martin to go over your revisions.
--Make sure that you are reviewing your notes (e.g., Key Facts, Alexandre Dumas notes, Melodrama notes, etc.), as Mr. Martin may "check in" on your knowledge and ask you to apply said knowledge at any time.
--While reading pages 179-241, work on character posters (if any of your characters "show up" in this section of the reading) and complete Post-its (focus especially on flagging seemingly important passages).
--As soon as Mr. Martin has approved your final project idea, you can get to work!
--The Unit #11 vocabulary quiz will take place this Friday. Begin preparing. Don't forget about the "Whimsical Words"!
