Period 1: Freshmen
We began with SSR and homework collection. (Metacognitive Journal #1)
Then we defined the Academic Vocabulary: excerpt and metacognition. We practiced metacognitive note-taking as we read a few brief passages, writing down all the thoughts in your head as you read. Then, homework was to read "Kevin Clarke", take notes on your thinking as you read it, and then write a letter to Kevin in which you compare your own reading history with Kevin's (due at the beginning of the period, next class).
Period 5: AP Lit.
In groups, students created a plot diagram for "The Country Husband", including details from each stage of the plot. We discussed and shared these on the projector.
Period 7: Shakespeare
I checked and gave credit for homework notes, first thing, then from these we compiled some class notes. Keep these. This information is likely to come up later, like on a quiz or a final.
