Monday

Plan for today:

· SSR

· Terrible Things (Books)

· Book Assignments

· Calendar

First we started class off with silent reading for 20 minutes. After silent reading Mrs. Ortega went over some announcements. Community service or extra credit will be offered from 1:30-3:00 this week. You can come in a decorate the bulletin boards in the back of the room. Also, by Wednesday you have to commit to a writing workshop piece. You will be sticking with whatever you chose.

Next we went over the book choices that we did not get to last time for literature circles. Then everyone wrote their name and class number on popsicle sticks. Then they were put into a bag then drawn to see who picks first and so on. The groups are:

1984, Group 1: Rachel H., Gawen, Jesse, Rachel W., Rene*.

1984, Group 2: Priscilla, Tony, Ryan, Saul and Alicia*.

V for Vendetta, Group 1: Daniel, Ana, Eric and Lucas.

V for Vendetta, Group 2: Dustin, Brent, Elijah and Pilar.

Persepolis, Group 1: Amanda N., Dolores, Amanda K. and Leslie.

Persepolis, Group 2: Jessica, Sebastian, Domonic* and Danielle*.

In the Time of the Butterflies: Logan, Lauren, Elizabeth and Marilyn.

*= first pick next time because they were picked last.

 

We got dates of every time we are going to have literature circle groups then in our groups decided what pages to read and by that date.

 We also updated our composition books with assignments numbers 14 which is Lit Circle reading and number 15 is POL scores. We got back our score and you need to put them in your composition book.

 Well that was it for English class on Monday.
