CP10:
- Please hand in your completed questions for Chapter 1: "The Sheik" as soon possible; if you need a few minutes to look over your responses, or if you wish to chat with a friend, you may, but I do still expect to see everyone's original ideas.
- Next, visit the website for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, linked here: http://www.ushmm.org/ Explore the site, check out videos and pictures, and record at least FIVE new or surprising facts about the Holocaust and surrounding events. Please store these in a GDoc, and feel free to include images or links.
- For homework, or if you have time during class today, please read Chapter 2: "The Honeymoon" and be prepared for a quick quiz over this chapter when I see you next.
H10:
- Please create groups of three or four, and follow the Critical Friends Group Protocol linked here to give one another feedback on your "Pivotal Moment" writing prompt. If you are unable to share, please join a group as a "critical friend" and give feedback to those who do.
- Take as much time as you need today to revise your "Pivotal Moment" to a point where you are ready to hand it in, and then submit it as a Google Doc to my Gmail: gaysa.spsd@gmail.com
- VERY IMPORTANT! Before you leave class, grab a copy of Maus I from the shelf under the window, closest to the front of the room. Be careful to grab a copy with two mice and a swastika on the front; there are copies of Maus II and I wouldn't want you to jump ahead by accident! For next class, please read Chapter 1: "The Sheik" and complete the chapter reading questions linked here. You can make a copy of these questions and save it for yourself. We will be making GDrive folders together during next class.
AmLit:
- Please hand in your completed chart of things men carry from the story "The Things They Carried." If you need a few minutes to look over your responses, or if you wish to chat with a friend, you may, but I do still expect to see everyone's original ideas.
- Open and make yourself a copy of the directions for a paragraph on "How to Tell a True War Story," linked right here. Ask a peer for help if you have never made a copy of a GDoc before; it's easy! Read the directions carefully, collect your quotes, and compose a paragraph in the same document. You should have plenty of time to finish this today, so hopefully you have no writing outside class.
- For next class, please read "Spin" (p. 31-38: very short!) and be ready for a quick quiz. We will also be setting up GDrive folders where you can pass in your "How to Tell a True War Story" paragraphs.
