- We started the period by putting work into student portfolios. All graded assignments were passed back, and all tests, quizzes and major projects were put into the portfolio.
- I checked VFA #13 & 14, OMM Packet pages 1, 5-7
- The students complete the Grammar Unit 3 Review. We then reviewed the answers for the Infinitives Activities and the Review. I also explained what will be on the quiz next time. The students should be able to identify all 5 (prepositional, appositive, participial, gerund, and infinitive) phrases. They should also be able to define them.
- We reviewed their homework in the OMM Packet. We discussed John Steinbeck and what he is known for. We discussed migrant farmworkers and the fact that not much has changed since the 1930's when Steinbeck wrote OMM. Finally, we discussed "To A Mouse" by Robert Burns-this is where Steinbeck got his title.
- The students spent the rest of the period brainstorming on the themes (selfishness, loneliness, prejudice) that we will follow in OMM. They had to write at least one idea in each box on pages 2-4.
- Homework: Read OMM Chapters 1 & 2 (be prepared for a Reading Comprehension Quiz); Study Grammar Unit 3 (be prepared for the quiz); Read OMM Chapters 3 & 4 by Friday.
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.
