This week is a bit of a hodge-podge as we finish up many of our introductory unit elements. By the end of next week, we should be ready to begin our first novel!
Mon: Summer Reading Celebration--we will share the memoir, biography, or autobiography that we read over the summer. And you'll get to show off any other books that you read that you want people to know about. Also: "Ordeal by Cheque" writing is due. Remember you can craft a Writer's Note to explain your process if you like. It's optional. Tues: Work with chapter groups for Let the Great World Spin. Thurs: How to Read Literature Like a Professor is due There will be a quiz! We'll also begin to discuss. Fri: More work with How to Read Lit. This week we continue our study of Let the Great World Spin, shifting attention from the tightrope walker and 9/11 to the other characters and chapters. Continue to keep your eye on the concepts and themes we've laid out so far as we'll pull them all together for our final assessment.
