  2. Honors: Literature circles20 minutes Be sure to take notes as your progress, and use the sheet provided to detail today’s discussion. In the last three minutes of discussion, choose the next set of pages/chapters to read and what goals. Discussion Dates:

  3. Awkward love stories • Today you are writing the introduction to a story! What details does one put in the beginning of a story? • Your tale is about a great love story: write a two paragraph “short story” where the two characters fall in love. • The catch… your goal is to incorporate great examples of each type of sentence we have been discussing! Requirements • 2 paragraphs • Include 1 simple sentences • Include 2 compound sentences • Make the POV clear

  4. 1.11: Creating a playlist for a novel • Why do we create playlists? • What kind of playlists do you have? What songs/artists are on them? • What do you notice about one of my playlists? Common themes? Similar tastes? What does it represent for me? • “It’s Tearing Up My Heart” by N*SYNC • “(You Drive Me) Crazy” by Britney Spears • “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys • “What A Girl Wants” by Christina Aguilera • “(I Do) Cherish You” by 98˚

  5. Playlists • Again, why do we have playlists, or Pandora stations created with special music? • Page 47, Question 1: • Based on your class discussions, what are some of the different types of playlists you or your classmates have on your MP3 players? • #2: Consider the texts you have read in this unit. What type of music might the main characters include in a playlist?

  6. Page 47: question 3 • Now, look back at your double entry journals and character interview you did for homework for your novel. • Create a 4-5 song playlist for the main character of your novel. • Then, write a short piece summarizing an interview with the character in which the character explains the reasons these songs are included on his/her playlist. Use language from the book that matches your character’s voice. • When finished, staple your playlist response to last night’s homework, and turn into tray. • If time is left in class, you need to write an entry in your journal. Then you may continue reading your novel.

  7. Homework: • Choose one of the following: • Vanquish your mortal enemy with the world’s most powerful magic, then write a prose piece to describe the sensation you felt after. • Use conditioner then shampoo in the shower. Describe how your hair feels using imagery. • Answer the following question using either Yoda or Rafiki’s voice: what is the meaning of life? • Obviously, I am kidding. No homework. Enjoy your weekend, chickadees.
