Block A: We started a new story today: "Identities" in small groups we worked through a close reading of the story with guided questions. For homework tonight answer the questions up to number 9. I will give you time tomorrow for the rest. Also don't worry about the plot summary - we will work on it tomorrow.
Block C: A great first meeting today! A lot of really rich discussion. As I was walking around it really seems as though people are benefitting from the opportunity to ask their group questions. For homework tonight - focus on your journals. I know that not everyone was able to finish their group work on analyzing fictional worlds, but you need to get some time for your journals, as the first set is due on Thursday.
Block D: We started thinking persuasively today. And how to write a persuasive paragraph. Remember this is not about stating your opinion, it is about convincing someone - with evidence - to believe what you want them to believe. It is not an opinion piece. Tonight you may want to make sure that your graphic organizer and outline are finished. The rough draft (double-spaced) will be due on Wednesday. There may be some time in class tomorrow to continue working on what you did not get finished today.
