- We started class by finishing the 30Days in a Wheelchair video.
- I collected "The Scarlet Ibis" Personal Reflection Questions and the Outside Reading Log. I also stamped "The Scarlet Ibis" notes.
- We then discussed the students' reactions to the video.
- I introduced the writing assignment that the students will write about "The Scarlet Ibis" and one of the two videos (30 Days or EPSN) that we watched.
- We walked through the essay prompt to make sense of it. I guided the students toward an essay outline that will get them started in the right direction.
- The students ended up having about 20 minutes to get started on the essay. To finish the essay the students had two options: finish it at home, type it in MLA format and turn it in on Monday Oct. 5, OR come back to finish it during tutorial/lunch over the next few days and it does not need to be typed.
- I recommend that the students go back to re-watch the video that they will write about. See the post from Tuesday for the links to the videos.
- Homework: Finish the essay, complete VFA #5 & 6, bring a 1" binder to class for the grammar workbook.
