Class Nov 20 & 23

BELLWORK: Paragraph puzzle. Arrange the 7 sentence strips so they create a cohesive paragraph. If you're doing this at home, write the sentence numbers on a piece of paper, bring it to me, and I'll tell you if you got the correct order. This activity is a follow-up to our work last time about writing strong paragraphs--a good body paragraph starts with a topic sentence and ends with a concluding sentence. In between, use "commentary" to introduce examples and quotes and use "commentary" again to explain the examples and quotes.

IRONY ACTIVITY: Study the four examples in this activity. Write your answer on an index card and give it to me.

CRUCIBLE READING QUIZ (23 points): Answer multiple choice and fill in the blank questions about Acts 1 & 2.

CRUCIBLE DVD: We watched to the end of Act 3. Next time we'll finish.

HOMEWORK:
  • Read The Crucible, Act 3. Every student should have his/her own copy of the play checked out from the Writing Lab. Reading quiz next time.
  • Reading Log reading.
