The End

Today, after a short look at theme and a visit from the counsellors reminding students that registration forms are due NOW, we finished Of Mice and Men, talked about the ending, and students had a chance to start on their final set of notes, which are due tomorrow.

Chapter 5

We started the short period today by finishing our discussion of the questions from Friday (which were then collected). We spent the rest of the period reading chapter 5. Notes, quotes, and a summary are due tomorrow.

Chapter 4

Today students worked on the chapter four questions below, and we discussed the first few before then end of class.

Some Silent Reading

We started the day with a warm-up about the symbolic importance of the ranch dream, and the students had the rest of the period to read chapter 4 silently and work on their notes, including quotations and a summary.

The Fight Scene!

After a warm-up focused on the symbolism of Candy's dog, we finished chapter three and students had the rest of the period to work on the notes, quotes, and summary for chapter three. This should be finished for HW.

Reading D

Today we finished reading D in class (the first half of chapter 3) and most students finished their notes as well.

Personal Narratives Returned

We began the day with a review of theme, and then spent the rest of the period reflecting on the newly-returned personal narrative essays. This reflection should be completed for HW.
