B1/B4 - We started today with Article of the Week #4: "Herd Mentality." As always, students were given 20 minutes in class to start reading, annotating, and responding to the article. From there, I asked students to write a half-page journal on behaviors they find to be "Despicable." After sharing a few of their responses, we went over the review sheet for Chapters 15-17. Next, we went over the vocabulary for Chapters 18-21 and began reading Chapter 18 together in class. Assignments: Finish reading Chapters 18-21 and complete the review sheet. Be ready for a quiz over Chapters 15-21 on Thursday. Article of the Week Response #4 is due on Tuesday, Feb. 18.
B3 - Part I of the Rough Draft of the Research Paper DUE (Intro + One Section). In class today, students were asked to write a half-page journal called, "This is an Outrage!" Students were encouraged to vent and share. I spot-checked draftwork, then we used several students' work as samples to look at as a class to discuss what is/isn't working well. With the rest of the block, students were encouraged to revise what they had as needed. Assignment: For next time, please add two more sections of your paper. Type your Works Cited page if you have not already done so.
