Tuesday, "Allegory of the Cave" Presentations Honors English 10

Today in class we discussed that MIDTERM is this Friday and that Parent Teacher Conference is next Wednesday.

Homework for next time: Thought Exercise. See sample here. The assignment is explained here. Mr. Nagro also has a sample here.


Then, the class did presentations on their group's page of "Allegory of the Cave." Each group was graded on this scale (50 points total):

• Covering the page of "Allegory of the Cave." Did you summarize? Did you share insights?
• Was your presentation interesting and informative?
• Did you share and teach the concepts from your page of "Allegory of the Cave"?
• Did you answer all the questions given in class for your page?
• Was everyone in your group part of the presentation?

Then, after the presentations, students wrote a Schaffer Model paragraph on "Out of the Cave" in preparation for the first "Thought Exercise" on their outside home reading. Here's Mr. Nagro's "Essay Template" which was handed out (in a slightly different format) in class.
