English 9 Class Notes

Objective(s): English 9 students 1) read independently for a sustained period and journaled critically, 2) created level 2 questions for literary text, and 3) determined and began to write about the protagonist and antagonist of a literary text.

Periods 1 and 3, after independent reading and critical journaling today, we had an earnest discussion about in-class and homework expectations. I’m concerned that many of you aren’t taking seriously my warnings about work being turned in on time and with the appropriate amount of thought, effort, and care. Remember, there are no “Make-up Missing Work” days in my classes. I certainly don’t expect you to get everything correctly the first time, but that’s what school’s about, making mistakes and capitalizing on the experience to improve next time.

We then moved to a discussion of level 1 and level 2 questions and began to apply the concept to “Rules of the Game”, and began to make inferences about character and characterization. You started to craft a paragraph in which you analyzed the protagonist and antagonist of the story. Check the class page for details and have a great weekend.
