Block A: We have officially begun our Survivor Challenges for Lord of the Flies. Today you took notes on the reading strategies that you will be expected to use throughout the rest of the unit. Your homework for tonight is to read chapter 1 of the novel and complete 4 sticky notes. If you do not complete your sticky notes - you will not be allowed to participate in Challenge #2.
Block C: Today we finished up our poetry presentations - many thanks to all for your hard work interpreting your poems. We started our short story unit today thinking about multiple interpretations. For homework tonight - you will be brainstorming as many different interpretations for possible stories as you can to the photo shown in class. From that list choose 2 that you like and develop a short story "pitch" for what the story would be about. Imagine you had someone in the elevator and you had 5 floors to tell them about your idea - that's all the writing you need to do. I'll be collecting these tomorrow.
Block D: Great work on the revision of your own work today. I will give you some time tomorrow for peer editing, so please come to class with a fresh copy of your story to get some feedback on. We will start our poetry journey once that is done.
