TODAY'S LESSON AND HOMEWORK
Theme for the Year:
CONNECTIONS
Remember -- as you leave my classroom,
be sure to thank someone
for helping us have a good English class.
Homework Assignment:
1)Finish reading TOTC, Ch. 17-18, and do the usual careful notes -- one highlight on each page, a 3-sentence sticky note on each odd-numbered page, and a 10-second summary at the bottom of each page. Do your finest work, so you can be very proud of yourself when you come to class tomorrow.
3) Don't forget to write a post on your reading blog by tomorrow night, and also to post a comment on the poem for the week -- "At the Cancer Clinic".
Lesson objectives:
Today you will learn more about finding literary elements in a novel
