Note: All the notes I take in class (including example reading journals for the novels we read) will be in this folder in Google Drive and loaded on the playlist.  I am currently going back and adding correct titles on them with name/class/date/activity so you can find the picture easily.

American Literature:
On Monday (2/4), 1st period looked at DOAS pages 38-50.  Everyone read the lines of just their character - Biff or Happy - and wrote down observations. This was Reading Journal #3.  On Tuesday (2/5), we looked at the difference between true identity and perceived identity and read pages 17-21 to determine whether Willy is accurately remembering the boys or if it's partially his insane mind making them to be who he wants to be.  For 4th period, we worked in the computer lab on scripts on both Monday and Tuesday.  On block day (2/6-2/7), both classes worked on filming our character videos.

Humanities:
On Monday (2/4), we read an independent close read of pages 63-65 and did Reading Journal #4. On Tuesday (2/5), we talked about the purpose of the minor characters listed here, and wrote the Reading Journal (instructions in the picture).  On Wednesday (2/6), we watched this video and worked on finding examples of when the narrator Elie is different from the author Elie.  Narrator Elie is 15, Author Elie is 30.  We used this document to compile examples of when Author Elie is speaking instead of Narrator Elie.  Every group needs to have one example added for any chapter before class on Friday.  We will be reading chapter 6 in class (to page 82) on Friday so read ahead if you enjoy reading at home.

SF Stories:
We have been and will be working on our podcasts all week.  They are due Monday (2/11) at the end of the period (we will be in 182 that day so you'll have time to work).
