1st period:
On Monday, we took Quiz 3 in class. On Tuesday, we examined two passages - page 159 (last paragraph) to page 160 (to "there was no escape."), and page 163 (last two paragraphs, starting with "The Williams Trace..."). We highlighted the context/setting details, then the details about plot - what was happening in the present (the marked up passages are at the end of this entry). Finally, we talked about the story that was left - the "real" story/emotional story. If you were absent, use the marked up passages below and write the "real" story, as you understand it. Then on Wednesday, we worked on preparing for the final and filled out a google form. On Friday, we did Journal #4 and discussed section 3 (pages 156-257). The final section is due Tuesday.
2nd period:
On Monday, we wrote a timed write about the purpose of school and whether homework fits that purpose (between one and two pages). On Tuesday, we wrote an exploded image about homework, and shared several examples from class (thanks to Cameron, Julian, Beckie and Sophie for offering their work up to be analysed). On Thursday, we spent the period working on the portfolio and final essay. On Friday, we continued work on the final essay.
3rd period and 6th period:
We continued the student presentations, and all work was turned in to the presenters.
4th period:
On Monday, we discussed June and Chris and looked at passages that helped us understand their character. On Tuesday, we examined two passages - page 159 (last paragraph) to page 160 (to "there was no escape."), and page 163 (last two paragraphs, starting with "The Williams Trace..."). We highlighted the context/setting details, then the details about plot - what was happening in the present (the marked up passages are at the end of this entry). Finally, we talked about the story that was left - what the "real" story - the emotional story was. If you were absent, use the marked up passages below and write the "real" story, as you understand it. Then on Thursday, we did Quiz #3 and Journal #4, then worked on preparing for the final and filled out a google form. On Friday, we developed a list of potential journal topics and wrote one of them (Journal #5). The final section of the book is due on Friday 12/14.
