- Take part one of the short stories unit exam (vocab)
- Review pre-writing strategies
- Review expectations for part two of the exam (writing)
What we did:
- Students took the vocab exam. We corrected it together after everyone was finished.
- We watched a video rendition of Guy de Maussapant's "The Necklace," after which I modeled for the students how I would write an analysis paragraph about its symbols and theme. I did this to give students an idea of how to approach the writing prompts they will receive next time, and how pre-writing to plan a written response is a good strategy.
Homework:
- Article of the week #3 (due next time!)
- Review Schaffer organization, theme, and symbolism for written test next time.
