Also, remember to post a comment on "The English Forum" by Sunday night.
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) Post a comment on "The English Forum" by Sunday night.
2) Tonight, read TOTC, Book the Third, Ch. 1, "In Secret". Do your usual very careful note-taking: one highlight on each page, one 10-second page summary, and one 3-sentence sticky note on every odd-numbered page. Leave your books on my table before your first-period class tomorrow.
Lesson Objectives
Today you will learn (I hope) ...
1) about the similarity between islands and books, and
2) more about reading a challenging novel with care.
The Steps of the Lesson
* First, let's take a look at my daily paragraph, written early this morning in about 40 minutes.
* Next, let's look at Reading Lesson #3 on English Lessons for the Class of 2012, titled "Beautiful Islands, Beautiful Books"
* Finally, let's continue reading from TOTC, Ch. 24.
