English 10--12/18/2019 (1 ACE) ABSENT DUE TO TWINS' ILLNESS

MEMBEAN TRAINING (20 mins.)
HOOKED ON BOOKS (remainder of block)

HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment/Class Preparation)

--Complete Membean training until you have earned 100 correct responses or trained for a total of 45 minutes over three different days before 11:59 PM this Thursday, 12/19.  (See the updated "English Department Membean Routine" sheet.)
--WE ARE TAKING A BREAK FROM MEMBEAN 12/20-1/2, WHICH MEANS THAT BOTH OF THESE WEEK ARE "EXTRA WEEKS."  (See the updated "English Department Membean Routine" sheet.)
--Upon returning from Winter Break, Membean training will be assigned each week up until midterm.
Writing

--Continue reviewing your notes for Animal Farm in preparation for continuing the in-class writing assignment next class block as well as when we return from Winter Break.

--Continue thinking about the following questions:

• Research Unit: What topic(s) might you write about in your argumentative research paper?
• End-of-Course Assignment: What is your "why?"?

HW (Class Preparation)
--Read at least 10 pages of your free reading book between now and next class.  ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS.  If you still do not yet have the "right" book in your possession, please let me know how I can help!

• "The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book" (Andre Maurois).

Hooked on Books runs through the end of this week! :)

On the backburner:

• Adding to "Interest Inventory" (AGAIN!)--selecting an initial research topic
