Today we repeated the Anticipation activity that we completed just before we started the novel. The class responded to nine anticipation questions by standing on sides of the room that were assigned "agree" or "disagree." After we were done, we compared the results to the results from the first time around, and discussed the possible reasons for this (for example, did some of you opinions change as a result of reading the novel?) We then spent the rest of the period going over the assessement for this unit, which is due this Friday. Download assessment sheet below. You will have block day to work on this, but please don't put this off, as it is due on Friday and no later. If you opt to take the standard test, you must let me know by Tuesday so that I can give you a study guide, and the test will be taken during block day this week. Short Story Guidelines (if you choose this option)
