We will
be dealing with each of these sheets during the first 1/4 of today's class
block.

Transition (1-2 mins.)

the quiz quietly and independently back at your assigned
seat. Good luck!
- When you finish taking the quiz, place it facedown on the floor underneath your desk. Then, “book surf” and/or engage in free reading until everyone has finished the quiz.
- During this time, I highly encourage you to ask clarifying questions and add to your definitions on your terms/concepts packet!
Teambuilding Activity -- Artifact Bags
(remainder of class)
--I hand
a paper bag to random student--he/she then displays items from the bag one at a
time, briefly describing what he/she is seeing
--guess
who?!

THE PROCESS...
HW (Class Preparation)
--Prepare
for the following ASSESSMENT:
- mastery of
terms/concepts 41-61 ("Leitmotif"-"Protagonist") next
class (Friday, 9/21)
- FYI: TERMS/CONCEPTS
FROM THE FIRST FORTY ON THE LIST ARE "FAIR GAME," SO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU REVIEW ALL SIXTY-ONE.
--Continue/(finish?)
getting in touch with your writing assignment partner and engaging in
the "research" process. The more intriguing information you
have gathered about your partner by next class block, the better!
--If you have a book at home that you are reading or would
like to begin reading for our free reading course component, bring the book to
class next time (and daily between now and when you finish the
book or the end of Marking Period 2, whichever comes first). Otherwise,
make time to sign a book out either from our classroom library or the high
school library. (FYI: The high school library should be open next week,
and I will try to find us some class time to swing over there!) I
will be checking your books in the near future!
Writing
--The
Thematic Essay Writing Assignment--Partner Interviews essay (your best effort)
is tentatively due at the beginning of class on Thursday,
9/27 typed in proper MLA format.
On the backburner:

- ThinkCERCA Benchmark
- Membean
NEXT CLASS:
