9th Grade- Section 12: Today we discuss “Adventures of Mega Chicken” and the questions that were posed. We went through the traditional “plot summary” and identified the sections within our story. We also discussed the philosophy of if we need to leave our comfort zone to meet our “stalwart alter ego”. We prepared for our vocabulary quiz and I handed out a study guide (purple). If you were out get this guide and complete as needed. Next class we will be turning in our story notes
HOMEWORK: Study for Vocabulary Quiz- Quiz on Tuesday
11th Grade LOTA: AS a class we read and analyzed “Queens” on page 7. We followed the recipe of content+form/style= meaning. Please complete analysis on poem and share findings with me if you missed class. After, I handed out a Venn Diagram, a Portfolio #5 1/2 sheet and a Portfolio #5 Assignment 1/2 sheet. Get these in the bin! The Diagram is worth 15 points and must be accompanied with 2 sample thesis statements. We worked on this for the rest of class.
HOMEWORK: Complete Venn Diagram and Begin (and perhaps finish!) Portfolio #5
