Homework: Literary terms quiz and vocaulary quiz Friday. Use Quizlet.
Today: We studied the writer's choices for half of the text, and I think the students understood what I was looking for. So I decided to allow them to dissect the text using the skills I have taught. The students were divided into groups which are responsible for one of the three purposes for reading this text.
The students will present Thursday. I expect each member has contributed to the presentation.
I expect each group to make a Google Slides presentation and share it with mrbozhb@gmail.com. Students were encouraged to collaborate using Google.
I worked with each group in class. They seem to have a clear understanding of what they are responsible for presenting. I will take the presentation as a SUMMATIVE grade.
