- STAR Testing took place today, so the periods were only 50 minutes long.
- For the full instructions, open the Night Power Point for today.
- The period started with a journal called 'Risked Safety'. The students had about 5 minutes to respond in the journal section of the Scrapbook.
- We then listened to Night pages 45-52. The students worked on their Graffiti Journals as they listened.
- I then introduced them to the definition for metaphors and we also examined some examples.
- We ended the period with a discussion of metaphors. The students worked in groups to discuss the meanings of 5 different metaphors from Night.
- Homework: Finish Reading Night, pages 52-62 (Section 4); Write FOUR Metaphors for the Holocaust (from anywhere in the novel); Check Grades OnlineàGrade Corrections & Make-up work DUE on Thursday; Verified Service Hours Extension DUE Monday May 2; Get a Binder for your Night Scrapbook (You can buy one from me for $1.50)
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.
