We watched most of The Outsiders in class today. We will watch the last section after break!

HW: None. If you haven’t finished your motif notes, finish them over break. Find at least 5 passages that display your motif in each chapter with a short explanation of why you selected the quote.

2AB

1. Freewrite.

2. Oral Quiz on Chapter 12.

3. Annotation on Dwarves. Students annotated and wrote an ACE-IT paragraph on the following passage: L12 dwarves analysis.

HW: Finish reading The Hobbit over break. You can do 2 motif annotations per chapter instead of 5, just to relieve the stress a bit!

4B

1. Freewrite.

2. Oral Quiz on Chapter 12.

3. Film review annotation. We all annotated the film reviews we printed out from home. If you were absent, you should annotate a film review of The Hobbit you find on the internet. 

4. Film review structure. As a class, we figured out the structure of most film reviews.

5. Writing your own review! We wrote our own reviews in the computer lab using this sheet as a guide: Writing a Movie Review. If you were gone, you should write your own review at home. It should be about 1-2 pages, double-spaced. If you did not see the film, write a book review instead.

Great job today, everyone! The reviews are really entertaining!

At the end of class, all students turned in their notes from the field trip.

HW: Finish reading The Hobbit over break. You can do 2 motif annotations per chapter instead of 5, just to relieve the stress a bit!
