What do you know about Greek Mythology?
We will be reading selections from Homer's Odyssey in conjunction with our skills on synthesizing questions and making original claims, while supporting with textual evidence. BIG PICTURE: By the end of this outcome, you will become proficient in Socratic Seminars (speaking and listening), creating your own original claims, supporting claims with literary analysis and synthesizing ideas to create your own. This week:
Bellringer:
Have your questions out that you created for today Discuss "part-Time Indian"....practice Discussion based on Diction & theme
Formative assessment: You will draw inferences from your group's discussion and synthesize your ideas to create a claim about how diction helps portray the theme of the selection.
Bellringer: Photo Friday
Prep work for Monday: Pick up (or click the link) and read "Hope against Hope" from Sherman Alexie's The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Bellringer: Throwback Thursday (TBT) to a time when??????
Agenda:
Remediation: if you got below a 10
Examine my feedback on your assessment. Take a look at our criteria. What can you do better? What do you need to do to "Exceed". Reassess>>>rewatch John Green's Video "letter to students" Make sure your questions don't just emulate the question stems. Those are only samples for good questions. You still need to use strong verbs and make sure an answer (claim) will connect back to the video. Your new grade will replace the old one. _____________________________ Enrichment: if you got a 10 If you earned 10, you will now work on perfecting your claims (using DEBRA) and supporting HOW your textual evidence illustrates your claim by ANALYZING in a few sentences. Bellringer: Using the feedback I provided you, revise one more time, your question and claim. Then, discuss your feedback and revision process with your partner.
