Week 27, Day 1
Objective: Determine the meaning of grade-level technical academic English words in multiple content areas derived from Latin and Greek roots; Analyze the internal and external development of characters through a range of literary devices; Demonstrate familiarity with works by authors in American fiction from each major literary period; Make complex inferences about textual evidence to support understanding, Draw and support complex inferences from text.
  1. Bell Work: Today's bell work is a little cliche for an English class, but talk about what you did over Spring Break.  Remember, this is done in your spiral and in blue or black INK. 80 words for Honors, 70 words for Regular.  
  2. Follow me on my school-related only twitter @AvalosEnglish
  3. Begin working on The Great Gatsby Treasure Hunt
    1. This is an introduction to the novel we are about to begin.
    2. Do the assignment in a Google Doc.  This is an INDIVIDUAL assignment, not group or partner work.  
    3. If Google Docs is not working, do the work on your own paper.  I've heard that Google Docs is not working due to bandwidth issues.  Sorry!
    4. Due Friday
    5. We will work on it in class tomorrow.  Today and tomorrow will be the only two days we will work on it in class.  
  4. Other announcements:
    1. Welcome back!  I hope you had a great Spring Break and are ready for a VERY busy spring.  SAT Quiz this week will be over the same 50 words that we had before Spring Break.  No hope for getting out of this test, you will need to study.
