Today we went over what is expected for our literature source books: your Lit. SB should be with you at all times, so that you can respond to reading or take time to produce original writing. Every Monday the mini-lesson will be literature based, and can be your focus for the week.
You are expected to make an entry EVERY DAY!
What should you read?
novels, biographies, non-fiction texts, newspapers, literary journals, etc.
What should you write?
poems, short stories, graphic novels, non-fiction articles, essays, etc.
When should you do all of this?
Whenever you have free time! In class, you may not be able to interview your subject until later in the day, so you "have nothing to do". This is a great time to read or write! Maybe you have a substitute teacher without any lesson plans...read or write! Are you sitting in lunch detention? Read or write then! You should always have something to read and your literature source book with you at all times, because you never know when you might want it!
I will be checking source books every three weeks, based on division of three groups. Group A will be collected this Friday, Group B next Friday, Group C the following Friday and then I will start back at Group A, etc.
Group A: Elena Sebastian, Ellie, Christina, Franshesca, Kevin, Coralis, Estephania
Group B: Vicky K., Angie, Mia, Angela, Joanna, Gio, Daniel
Group C: Vicky R., Melody, Kathy, Marlyn, Simone, Haresh, Alan, Gerardo
