We have a busy week planned.
Period 1:
We will continue to explore An Na's novella, A Step from Heaven. There is a quiz scheduled for Tuesday and we will be finishing the novella on Friday.
On Monday we discussed the difference in expectations and roles for gender's and Young Ju's difficulty in finding a place to belong. On Tuesday (after the quiz), we will be exploring Young's voice by writing a diary entry about one of the events to date.
Period 3:
On Monday we presented our stereotype projects and began to think about an up-coming future presentation regarding colleges. Some of the schools selected include: Keene State and Colby Sawyer.
On Tuesday, we will discuss stage fright and how to cope with it.
Period 5:
On Monday, we talked about the importance of first lines and introductions. We shared responses from the prompt: "Can money buy happiness?"
On Tuesday, we will share one page papers with a peer using peer response sheets and discuss revision.
Period 6:
On Monday, we discussed Antigone's struggle and the role of moral dilemmas within the play and our own lives. We started notes on a Hero's Journey.
On Tuesday, we will review the Greek tragedies and prepare for the test on Wednesday. We will also continue our hero journey notes.
My website has been updated for those who need handouts.
