English 9 Class Notes
Objective(s): English 9 students 1) read independently for a sustained period of time and journaled critically, 2) analyzed literary concepts through chunking, and 3) completed a 2 chunk, 8 sentence expository paragraph.
A crazy day for periods 1 and 3, freshmen. After you read and journaled, I mentioned the extra credit opportunity and then worked on crafting very specific sentences to complete the paragraph template. First period wrote about mood in epic, and thrid period wrote completed the paragraph on imagery.
Once again, I was impressed by the number of you that showed up to fulfill your tutoring obligation. When I showed up at T-12 after working with the juniors and seniors in the library, there must have been about 40 of you milling about waiting for me to open the door. I invited Mr. Erickson and Mr. Quinn over to take a look at you all working, and I think you impressed them, too.
