Thursday, English 10: Mapping the Neighborhood
First, you evaluated your Body Shopping assignments.
You should have looked at the other students assignments and made comments on:
1. What you liked best (quotes, descriptions, pictures, what they said, etc.) looking at either their collage or what they wrote.
2. What you would add to their piece.
3. What you wish you knew (that you--or they) do not know.
Second, you got directions and paper on how to "Map Your Neighborhood"
Each student should have received a piece of 11x17 piece of paper. We discussed what should go on a map and reviewed the concepts of scale, legend, key, North, South, East, West, and that you should use symbols and envision how you see the setting of your book. If the book has a map, you should NOT refer to it, and instead look at how well the author created the setting in their mind and create the map you have in your head.
You can download items online, but you should be creative! DUE NEXT TIME!!!

Honors English 10--Wednesday
Today, you had the green Lesson 3, handout 4 & 5 (The Center for Learning) due. It was called "Getting to Know Pap" and "Matching Wits with Pap." We compared it with "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Rothke (good analysis here) and "Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Hayden (good analysis here).
We also listened to "Water and Bridges" by Kenny Rogers and compared it to both poems. Last time, we had a quiz, and you turned in the Strategic Reading study guide on Section 1 (Chapters 1-11).
Your homework is to READ chapters 12-18. You have a pink handout that runs chronologically. It will be due at the end of the book, but you can start to fill it out NOW. :o)
