*Reminder that spoken word in our class will be on Monday November 27th.  I will be doing a “homework check” to see how you are progressing on your spoken word.

-Silent Reading

In your lit. circle group: you are to create a short presentation to the class and teach the class about a topic from your novel.  You can present on a ‘program’ of your choice….

-Zomboy:  the quest for inclusion in society

Hello!

*Reminder that you should continue to work on your spoken word.  You will be presenting your spoken word on Monday November 27th.  I would like to see a draft of your speech (just a walk through the room) to see that your speech is underway.

-Silent Reading:

-Today, each of you should have a ‘role’ prepared for your Lit. Circle.  You will be meeting with your group to have a discussion.  Remember, Each person should be talking and sharing.

-After your discussion, you are responsible for two things:

Hello,

-Reminder:  you should be working on your spoken word in the back drop…you will be performing on Monday November 27th, 2017

-Reminder:  You should have your Lit. Circle Role ready for Monday’s class.

*Silent Reading

*Finish your ‘research’ on your novel….and then you will have time to share your findings with your group members.

*Spoken word: If time allows, time to work on your spoken word.

Hello,

*Today we will start off with silent reading

*No Red Ink:  Phrase and Dependent Clauses

*Two more roles I forgot to post….researcher and word wizard.

*Today you are all going to be researchers.  Novels are not written in isolation.  They are often a product of the world within which the author lives…

Depending on the novel being studied, forms of contextualization may include one or more of the following:

• Cultural — placed within the learned behavior of specific groups of people.
• Economic — of or relating to systems of production and management of material wealth and/or business activities.
• Gender — located within the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with being male or female.
• Historical — the time in which something takes place or was created and how that influences how you interpret it.
• Interdisciplinary — explanation of theories, concepts, ideas, or methodologies borrowed from other disciplines applied to the research problem rooted in another discipline.
• Philosophical — clarification of the essential nature of being or of phenomena as it relates to the research problem.
• Physical/Spatial — reflects the space around something and how that influences how you see it.
• Political — concerns the environment in which something is produced indicating it’s public purpose or agenda.
• Social — the environment of people that surrounds something’s creation or intended audience, reflecting how the people around something use and interpret it.
• Temporal — reflects issues or events of, relating to, or limited by time.

Using the “Researcher” role sheet as a guide line, you are to research the context within which your novel was written.  Be prepared to share your findings with your group.
