Today I would like you to read your novel and work on your reader’s journals, which are due on February 24.

We will continue to consider the short story “Things that Fly” by looking at some sample answers. Choose one that you agree or disagree with and be prepared to explain why.

Finally, we need to finish posting all three goals to Sesame.

I will hold small group conversations around the process of close reading.

If there is time, please work on outstanding items. Check the tracking sheet regularly.

Notes:

“What to do when you’re not the hero anymore?” question 4 is due on Friday by 3:300. Use academic language in your answers.

We will continue to read our independent novel. If you didn’t set a reading rate yesterday, be sure to let me know to time you.

We will complete our academic goal planning frame, and post our goals on Sesame.

Finally, we are going to review ways to annotate a non-fiction text and practice those skills with “What to do when you’re not the hero anymore” by Laurie Penny. I think you’ll like this post because it challenges the patriarchal society of North America (at least).
