February 8: A Day

1A

1. Plot summary. Students wrote in their notebooks for three minutes to summarize the plot of their book so far, then got up and told two other people this concise version of the plot. Finally, students worked alone or in their groups to write the third section of their plot on their Plot Summary sheet.

2. Work time. Students then had the rest of class to read their books or finish their webquest.

HW: Finish reading your novel and complete Reading Log 4. Finish Wikipedia Webquest if not done. All due Tuesday when we will start learning about research!
