G1 - DEN for "The Flight from Conversation" DUE (through Google Classroom). We discussed the article and the double-entry assignments in class today. Students mapped out some strengths and weaknesses for the article in their notes. Next, we watched Sherry Turkle's Ted Talk and compared it to the information in the article. For a few minutes at the end of the block, groups worked on getting closer to drafting out their sample analysis paragraphs. I also passed back all of the rough drafts of the Summary today in this class. Assignment: Read "A Shared Sadness" by Russ Parsons (link on Homework Calendar on Google Classroom) and complete a double-entry notebook assignment. Final Drafts of the Summary are due on Wednesday. Print two copies for some extra points, and be sure to bring back the Rough Draft with my comments.
G3/G4 - Study Guides for Chapters 10-11 DUE. Students were given a few minutes to review prior to taking the quiz over Chapters 10-11. After the quiz, students completed the pre-reading vocabulary worksheet for Chapters 10-11 and a journal about important life lessons. (Prompt: Who was taught you some of life’s most important lessons? What lessons have you had to learn “the hard way?”) In G4, students were called out for a meeting about scheduling. For the remainder of the block, we started reading and discussing Chapters 12-14. Assignments: Read and complete the review sheet for Chapters 12-14.
