Wednesday

"A" day - 10/14/08

Period 1: Freshmen
After SSR, we spent a few minutes discussing the interesting menagerie of characters we met in chapter 2 of Of Mice and Men. We then began reading Chapter 3 together, but didn't quite get through all of it. Homework is to complete as much of the Ch. 3 study guide as possible; we'll finish up the reading of Chapter 3 next class...(watch out Curley!)

Period 5: AP Lit.
After some interesting stories shared, (mostly about Max injuring himself), students had the rest of the period to revise papers and offer feedback to other students. As well, I handed out an explanation of metacognition and the metacognitive response. You will need to complete a metacognitive response to hand in with the final draft of every formal paper we write this year, so keep this handout. Thursday, we will have a giant culminating discussion of Catcher.

Period 7: Shakespeare
We need to finish up Macbeth, so we powered through reading most of Act 5...only one scene left to read on Thursday as Macduuuuff and Macbeth finally face off...duh, duh, duh!
