- Class started by students turning in their WOR packet from last class period.
- We then assembled the Time Capsules. Students sealed the letter to themselves in a small envelope, then the letter and all other items were put in a large manila envelope.
- I showed a 12 minute video to prepare the students to read the "Scarlet Ibis". The video was produced by ESPN. It is called "Outside the Lines: Carry On."
- We then read/listened to the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. The students completed the elements of short stories notes sheet as they read.
- After the story we reviewed possible themes and symbols. If the notes were not finished in class, the students need to finish the notes for homework.
- I also distributed some personal reflection questions to be answered for homework based on "The Scarlet Ibis".
- I then showed the episode on 30 Days in a Wheelchair. We will finish watching the video next class period.
- Homework: Finish "The Scarlet Ibis" notes, complete the personal reflection questions, finish the Outside Reading Log #1 and upload it to Turnitin.com by Wednesday night.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
