B2 - Passed back graded work, then I collected the four paragraph assignment about "Parents Just Don't Understand." Students had a few minutes to study, then they took SAT Vocab. Test #7. I gave them the list for Unit #8 today and told them that the Flashcard Assignment is OPTIONAL for Unit #8. We are going to try something different this time. For the Unit #8 test, there will be no mnemonic devices and no Blast From the Past section. Instead, the words/definitions will count twice, so 2 pts. each. There are 15 words, so the test will be worth 30 points. This may encourage some students to try studying a different way to see if they are more effective doing something different this time. Next, I gave student notes over Audience. We were able to listen to and discuss "Hey There, Delilah" by Plain White T. Students took notes over Subject, Plot, Tone, Theme, Point of View, and Audience, then I collected their in-class work. Assignment: SAT Vocab. Unit #8 Flashcards are due next time. This is an OPTIONAL assignment, but if you are doing them for the points, be sure to have them in class next time.
B3 - Passed back graded work. Notes: Audience. Today, we listened to and discussed "Hey There, Delilah" by Plain White T and "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson. Students took notes over Subject, Plot, Tone, Theme, Point of View, and Audience. I collected the in-class work today for these two songs. At the end of the block, I walked them through their homework assignment. Assignment: Write three paragraphs about the poem "Oranges," by Gary Soto (handout). You can choose from any of the different aspects we have been discussing in class. Use your notes to help you write about three of the following: Subject and Plot, Tone, Theme, Point of View, and Audience. Write one solid paragraph for each of the three topics you choose. I have posted the rubric for this assignment on Moodle.
