I was away today. Here are the notes I left for the TOC:
1. Silent reading for the first 10-15
minutes of class.
2. Work on the poem/song analysis – the rubric for the assignment will be on the class blog on the
weekend. For now, they know they have to
write a paragraph about the theme of their poem/song, a paragraph about at
least 3 poetic devices in their poem/song and a paragraph about the tone of
their poem/song. At the end of the piece of writing, they should state why they
chose the song/poem and what they like about it. A double-spaced, typed copy of their
analysis is due on Monday.
3. For those who have completed reading
their novel, they should get going on their novel autograph which is due next
Wednesday.
4. They can finish their beading
project as long as they take good care of the resources – they know where they
are. Please do expect them to be respectful of the wonderful supplies the
Aboriginal Support Teachers gave us. Let them know the beading materials are
going to be returned on Tuesday. Their bead timeline must have at least 2
significant events on it. I should be at least 4000 years long (5 beads = 100
years). They have to share it with the class on Tuesday.
Thursday
Today we went co-constructed the criteria for the analysis of the poem/song. Some of the features of what your analysis could include are shown below.
Wednesday
Mrs. Dawson came to show us a some cool things to do with the e-portfolios today.
Tuesday
Most of today's class was taken up with the quiz on Chapter 8: Arrival in Canada.
Monday
We tried Cornell notes and a partner reading strategy to process the final pages in chapter 8. I was very impressed at how well everyone's note taking has improved over last week. I had hoped you would complete the chapter before the end of the class, but that was not enough time. The reading and notes for the chapter were assigned as homework. There is a quiz tomorrow (open notes, not open textbook) on chapter 8.
