Notes & Presentations

After doing a quick annotation and summary of the "Coping with Cliques" notes from yesterday, we did about half of the theme/symbol presentations (from Google Classroom). We wrapped up the period setting up some notes for tomorrow's article.

Nonfiction Notetaking

We spent today's period talking a bit about Cornell Notes and then taking some on the article "Coping with Cliques."

Art & Symbol

After a short written warm up and some time to experiment with their object in 3D playdough form, students wrapped up our look at art and symbolism with the journal below.

Theme and Symbol Wrap

Today partners focus on analyzing a specific symbol and its relationship to theme.

Wrapping Up Speak

Today, after revisiting some issues, symbols, and themes from the novel, we finished DJ # 9 with a fourth and final summary.

Finishing Speak

Today, after a quick quiz on Reading 8, we finished Speak (in all but period 3). Tomorrow we'll wrap up dialectical journals for Reading #9.

Metaphor Analysis

After doing a bit of metaphor analysis in the warm up, we read some more of Reading 8 and broke down the central extended metaphor in "Real Spring" (pp. 165-168). Students should finish Reading 8 (pp. 162-184) and do the DJ for HW.
