A question to consider:  "How are you tending to the emerging story of your life?" (C. Hegedus & F. Vaughan)


Periods 4 and 6
Grade 10


Read to page 202 in Unwind.  Discussed observations and questions about the film Last Days. With period 4, I reviewed the series of events from section 4 of Night.  We also read to page 69 (to page 72 with the period 6 class).
Homework:  Write a 1-2 paragraph response to the film in which you discuss the similarities between the experiences of the film's survivors and those of Elie Wiesel.


Period 7 (no period 3 on D-days)
Word of the day:  quotidian
Asked students for book titles for their second quarter reading.  We de-briefed "The Wife of Bath's Tale" (in other words, we broadly analyzed it using the seven questions for reading a Canterbury Tale).  I also distributed the critical analysis assignment.  In the library on Monday, 11-21, I will explain exactly what you need to do.  The completed assignment is due on Tuesday,11-29-2011.


*Do not forget that there is always English homework!  This week-end, you ask?  Yes...be sure to organize your thoughts for the essay test on Tuesday, 11-22.  Continue to become scholars of your research paper books and, of course, begin your second quarter books.  


Enjoy your week-end, everyone!
