HOMEWORK: Read chapter 28. Finish storyboards! Due Monday! Warm up: Commonly confused word practice.
I passed out copies of chapter 27 today. As I read aloud we highlighted moments in the chapter that showed Grant as more educated in one color and moments that showed Reverend Ambrose as more educated in another color. We then answered the question: In your opinion, who is more educated and why? Use evidence to support your answer. After a brief discussion, I left the rest of the period to finishing our storyboards from chapters 23 and 24. Storyboards are due Monday. HOMEWORK: Work on storyboards. Partner 1 brings it home tonight; partner 2 brings it home over the weekend. Warm up: Commonly confused words part 4

I will be walking around during warm ups and other activities to check for participation. This is for a weekly grade of 100 (20 points per day). Chapter 19 was assigned as reading over the long weekend. We reviewed the contents of the chapter and did a journal entry based on the question, "why is Grant unhappy at the end of chapter 19?" Since learning how to be mature writers is extremely important, we are now going to answer our journal questions using the format ACE. A - Answer the question. C - Cite evidence from the text, with quotation marks and a page number E - Explain how that piece of evidence helps support your answer to the question. Once done, do a "Say Something" in your journal with chapter 20 on your own. As you read, pause at least five (5) times to respond to the text. If you feel limited by the sentence starters you can respond in a different way. HOMEWORK:
Finish your "Say Something" for chapter 20 in your journal. No warm up because we had a vocab quiz. We read chapter 18 today and did the "Say Something" activity that you can find at the link below. HOMEWORK:
Read Chapter 19. Warm up: Commonly Confused Words Part 3
As we read through chapter 17 of A Lesson Before Dying, students used sticky notes to note where the author uses different dialects (ways of speaking), adds characterization, introduces a very important point (V.I.P.), or uses imagery. On each post-it explain what made you put the sticky note there. I then passed out a few questions to think further about chapter 17 in the context of the book. HOMEWORK: Finish questions on chapter 17. |
