English 10 Honors--1/9/2018 & 1/10/2018

Jump Off (10 mins.)
--Pick up a copy of the "Poetry 'Unit' Notes -- English 10 Honors" page from the front table.  If you do not have a pencil, grab one from the mug.
--Find your name card and sit in the corresponding desk.  These are your new assigned seats moving forward!
--At your new assigned seat, spend the first 10 minutes of class filling in as many of the blanks as you can on the notes page using prior knowledge, your "Literature and Nonfiction Terms/Concepts" document from the beginning of the course, a smart device, etc.  I recommend using a pencil as you will likely make changes to your notes page moving forward.  Good luck!
