Wrapping Up Billy

Today we warmed up with a close read of the final section of the story on page 759. After sharing the sequence charts from yesterday, students worked with partners margin questions C, G and H. Students had some time to begin the story questions on 761 (1-9, 8=extra credit).

More "Charming Billy"

Today we warmed up with A on page 752. We then headed a fresh piece of paper and did B on p. 754 and E on p. 755. We wrapped up the period doing the Sequence Chain as explained in the middle of p. 751.

Flashback and Literary Realism

Today we started with a brief look at the vocab on page 751 and I collected the HW (pp. 748-49). After reviewing the ideas of flashback and realism, we listened to "Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?" marking examples of both techniques with stickies.

Wednesday & Thursday

• Wednesday we began with some style practice in the warm-up and spent the rest of the day on the Style and Voice notes on page 746 and the Style and Voice practice on page 747.
• Thursday, after writing about the discussion prompt on page 750 in our warm-ups, we did "Analyze the Literature" on pages 748 and 749.

Stylistically Speaking

Today we continued our look at style, wrapping up the notes on p. 744 and doing the close reading questions on p. 745.

Today we warmed up with the "What is Style?" question on page 742 and started the notes on page 744.

Wrapping Up

Today while a few students finished up yesterday's quarter 3 assessment, students worked on questions 5-10 on p. 725 (11 was extra credit). We finished up the day talking about the questions. Absent students or those who didn't get a chance to finish the questions should do so for HW.
