Retrieval Practice and Hooks & Conclusions

 

This is a daily feature where we can share with each other some workflow productivity tip or computer hack that will help us be more effective learners. But it might also be a time when we give feedback on a process or event. And it might also be a thought-of-the-day or a connection we make to the course content. 

I’ll start. 

Adding a Microsoft app to your phone: Outlook or Teams. Why?

Semester Two!

This blog is home base for our course. We will do most of our work in OneNote and Word, but the blog remains  an indispensable resource. Let’s begin by completing a blog AND OneNote scavenger hunt.

Ind reading + reading log: a NEW one for this week. Do the math. Are you reading 200 pages per week? We have been reading for six weeks, which means 1200 pages. 

Reading list—Look at Balen’s

Choose your novel for summative task by October 30th. Consider the literary lens:

Grade 10 Reader Response and Archetypal/Hero Journey

Grade 11 Reader Response, Archetypal/Hero Journey and Feminist

Grade 12 Reader Response, Archetypal/Hero Journey, Feminist and Post-Colonial

From this point forward some days we won’t read our novels. We will read mentor texts.
