B1 - Because ISTEP testing was cancelled yesterday, students were placed with Mrs. Swain-Leswing again today while I gave the ISTEP test to Sophomores. I extended the time to work on presentations. Those were due at the end of the block. Otherwise, students were given EB time. Assignment: You will present your Chapter Review Presentations on Tuesday.
B3 - AOW #4 DUE. At the beginning of the block, four students were chosen to give their Powerful People Presentations. Journal #3: On page 69-71, Winston describes a scene that he witnessed amongst the Proles About 3/4 of the way down the page, he asks, "Why was it that they could never shout like that about anything that mattered?" How does what Winston saw and thought about the Proles relate directly to our society today? What does it make you think of? After sharing a few ideas/responses, we reported back about some of the vocabulary we missed last time. Next, groups met and discussed Chapters 7-8. That was all we had time for today. Assignment: Begin Book II. Read Chapters 1, 4-5. Skip Chapters 2-3.
B4 - Chapter review presentations were DUE today. Students presented the entire period. Assignment: None! We will wrap up presentations on Tuesday.
