Make-Your-Own-Monday!

Block B: The reading strategy reminder today was on making connections - 3 types: text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world. We will be practicing this strategy again tomorrow. We then moved further into our identity unit: What is normal? We all know and can quickly identify what is weird - but it is much harder to define normal... We will continue our work with healthy relationships tomorrow. No homework tonight!

Block C: We transitioned from good writing to good reading in class today. Once you had set your 3 goals for writing - we moved on to short stories with some reminders about terminology. The handout that I gave you has A LOT of vocabulary terms on it. You will need to do some work to memorize/understand what those terms are - some may be on the Provincial exam. We then viewed a couple of short films and completed the graphic organizer. If you did not finish up "For the Birds" that is your homework tonight.

Block D: Thank you for completing your writing goals over the weekend. We can now move on to short fiction - I gave you an extensive handout of terminology - you will need to put in the work to memorize those terms. We did not get a chance to finish reading "A&P" in class today - please do so for homework tonight.
