Good Morning,

*Silent Reading

*One Act Plays:  We will listen to the remaining One Act Plays.

*Novels:  Research

Throughout this semester, we have been discussing how as readers we need to consider the historical, cultural, and social context of when a work of literature was written.  We have also discussed the concept of different “Lens” when we read.  Your task:

  1.  Now that you have read a little into your novel, research the social, historical, and cultural context of your novel and when it was written.

2. When reading through your novel so far, reflect upon the different “lenses” that could be perceived…

*Literature Circles:  you will have time to work on preparing your literature circle role for a discussion on Friday.

Good Afternoon,

*No Red Ink:  Topic Sentences and Strong Hooks

*Spoken Words:  How are we making out?  We will be performing these on Monday December 2nd and Tuesday December 3rd.  If you are wanting to compete in finals in the cafeteria for our school festival, you should plan to go on Monday.

Good Morning,

Today, we will be starting our Novel Study by looking at the roles and guidelines that you will have to follow as we go through our novels.  We should hopefully have the novels tomorrow….in the meantime, we will go over the timeline/reading schedule as well as the roles.  Each of you should take on all of the roles at some point…at the start of each class, I will give you ‘silent reading’ time.
