Princeton:
We finished our poetry presentations. We did a jeopardy review of poetic terms to start preparing for our poetry assessment. The test will consist of three parts: objective -- terms, vocabulary, pick out examples of figurative language, comprehend two poems; poets, their poems and summaries -- match the poems with poets and summaries that we've shared in class; interpretation of two poems.
We took a quiz on our novel, Thirteen Reasons Why. We handed in published poems.
Homework: Read 69 to 92. Be sure guided reading sheet has been completed. Publish poems.
Yale:
We began our character sheet listing the characters in our novel and listing things that would identify each. This will be due on Monday. We read several excerpts together as a reader's theatre and discussed the progression of Phillip's "untruth."
We edited our poems and handed in published work.
Homework: Read Chapter 15 in your novel. Publish poem.
Harvard:
We wrote out our character sheet listing the main characters in The Skin I'm In. Teams had 15 minutes to identify and then the whole group shared their findings. We discussed stereotyping and discrimination within ethnic groups. Character sheets were handed out (facebook side is for extra effort).
Socratic discussion groups were formed; partners assigned and questions copied down. Pairs need to gather information for the discussion.
We edited "If I Was in Charge of the World." Form poem drafts were returned.
Homework: publish your cinquain, limerick, form and "In Charge." Work on your project for the novel (theme sheet & character sheet).
ALL: Current event due tomorrow (subject: The Ukraine)
