Thursday!



Poem + Hot Chocolate = An awesome LA class...remember everything you need for our poetry share tomorrow! Hot chocolate packet, poem, and how your poem relates to our novel (p. 1,4) or POM (p.2,5,6)

P. 1,4: Today we got the mobile lab going and started typing the conclusions to the argument paper. Students were reminded that they need to slow down and take their time because conclusions are the most difficult, but most important part of the paper.

P. 5: Students finished up group responses to "Annabelle Lee," and then began a 3D project related to Red Glass. They were assigned a symbol from the novel, and they are constructing the symbol as a 3D model. Then, they are writing the significance of the symbol from a character's perspective, written in the voice of that particular character. Let the creativity flow!

P. 2,6: Today students took their cultural response questions and rewrote them in a style that would be helpful for Socratic Seminar. That involved picking out the most important part of their responses which addressed the question and marking their evidence in Ties that Bind... it is sometimes difficult to know exactly what are the most important pieces to be presented in Socratic.

See you tomorrow!
