- Share and turn in A of W #1
- Review theme, moral, motif, and subject
- Become familiar with the Schaffer paragraphing method
We started off class having a discussion about this week's article--sharing insights and "ahas," asking questions, clarifying information for each other, etc. before everyone turned them in. We then finished the jigsaw activity from last time where students compared and contrasted the two poems ("Those Winter Sundays" and "Snowfall") and found a common theme, moral, motif, and subject. Students then turned in their poem sheets for credit. We ended class with learning the terminology associated with Jane Schaffer's paragraphing method. Students created a reference sheet for themselves by taking notes in a pyramid graphic organizer and color coding the different parts of the pyramid (Red for TS, Blue for CD, Green for CM, andPurple for CS) See my website for a copy of the pyramid organizer. Homework for tonight was to read 30 minutes every day over the weekend.
