Hello!

P. 1,5:

Today the class was divided according to novel. Each group finalized their summary writing while the other group watched a movie clip (20 minutes) of the film based on their novel. They will be using this information to reflect upon the difference of the experience between watching the movie and reading the book (as opposed to the superficial difference). Both movies were found on putlocker.com. You can go on and search for the movie. Once you get to the movie, just click on it - you don't have to join.

No h/w

P. 3:

Students finished their Wordle based upon LWTW. After that some students needed to finish their summaries, while others were put into groups to start brainstorming about our fundraiser for Water for Sudan. We will be diving into this problem-based learning project next week.

***Those of you who emailed me your Wordle or Word It Out: the link never showed up in my email. We will have to figure this out. If you can do it at home, please do that and print it out.

P. 2,6:

Islands were passed in after a gallery walk! They look great! Students also worked on summary writing and controlling idea - rough draft. we also discussed the last few chapters of RC and focused on the shift of power and control. Who really is controlling whom?

H/W:
