Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday we began the day with a short reading quiz on the end of reading #2 (which was homework). We then reviewed some of the major characters and events from the first section of the novel and wrapped up with a summary of the 1st marking period in their writer's notebooks. Frames for the summary are located on the back of the Speak handout.

Wednesday we focused on some of the issues, symbols and themes from Speak by filling out the top part of the Speak handout (below). We then reviewed and shared a few of the quotation analyses (i.e. says/means/matters) from the students DJs (aka Writer's Notebooks). By now, they should have at least 4 of these.
