  2. 1/20/2009[5 min] WARM UP • We are now OFFICIALLY half way through our year together. • Briefly summarize what you have learned in this class this year—tell me everything that you can remember. • What is your opinion of the homework strike system? • What is your opinion of this class thus far? Why? Timer

  3. 3rd Quarter Changes NO NOTES • If you use a PENCIL, listen up—my pencil sharpeners are GONE—if you wish you use a pencil in my class, you can: • A) Buy mechanical pencils (don’t forget lead) • B) Buy a manual pencil sharpener. • Why am I doing away with sharpeners? • NOISE—too loud when taking tests. • TIME—1 minute

  4. 3rd Quarter Changes NO NOTES • 1 minute x 4 days a week = • 4 minutes per week. • 4 minutes per week x 4 weeks = • 16 minutes per month. • 16 minutes per month x 4 months = • 64 minutes lost in school • Or, over a whole day lost.

  5. 3rd Quarter Changes NO NOTES The Strike System is now down to 3

  6. 3rd Quarter Changes NO NOTES • What does this mean for you? • I expect you to get homework once a week—it’s going to happen. • If you don’t want it to happen—don’t goof off, do your work, have out your materials, and don’t carry on conversations while I’m teaching.

  7. 3rd Quarter Changes NO NOTES • How your grade is determined has changed. • Participation: 10%  10% • Homework: 20%  15% • Classwork: 20%  30% • Tests and Projects: 40%  35% • Quizzes: 10%  10% • Why, you ask? If you happen to get homework (3rd/6th) and don’t do it, the highest grade you can receive is a 80%--don’t keep up with your journal and the highest you can receive is a 40%.

  8. Elements of a Fairy Tale NO NOTES • A fairy tale is a children’s story that is mean to be read ALOUD. • Fairy tales share most elements in common with modern day super hero tales. • There are 4 components essential to most fairy tales.

  9. Element 1 Plot (Freytag’s Triangle) Exposition: beginning Complication: a problem Climax: highest point of action Resolution: the ending (solves the problem) TAKE NOTES

  10. Element 2 Propp’s Character Spheres Vladimir Propp had an idea—most characters in fairy tales fall into categories. You’ll notice that they are eerily similar to superhero stories. NO NOTES

  11. Element 2 Propp’s Character Spheres Hero: rescues the princess Helper: side-kick; helps the hero “Princess”: needs rescuing; maybe male Donor: gives something (magical) to the hero The Villain: wants the princess; fights the hero; usually loses. TAKE NOTES

  12. Element 2Case Study: Mario Bros. Hero: Donor?: Helper: Villain: “Princess”: NO NOTES

  13. Element 3 Numerology: Numbers are significant and often repeated: 3’s: repeated number for remembering 7’s: good luck numbers 9’s/13’s: bad luck numbers TAKE NOTES

  14. Element 4 Moral: The “lesson” of the story Examples: “Don’t run away” “Be good to your parents” “Don’t trust strangers” TAKE NOTES

  15. Fairy Tale Practice NO NOTES • I will be reading you a fairy tale as practice—it is called Rumpelstiliskin. • You will not have the paper in front of you; you must listen CAREFULLY. • We will go over answers together; tomorrow you will work in groups on different fairy tales.

  16. Example“What is your favorite fast food restaurant? Why is it your favorite fast food restaurant? NO NOTES • First, as I stated before, I believe that Wendy’s burgers are made more delicious and reflect my own internal belief of the “squareness” of society by their natural square size. An excellent example of this came to me the other day when I was sitting at the local Wendy’s with some friends: we were all sitting around, enjoying each others company when a great philosophical hallucination came to me: why have a circular burger? Although the world might be circular--more accurately spherical--why indeed should my burger be the same? Don’t we as human beings pride ourselves on our ability to be unique? I believe that in this respect, a burger should more accurately reflect the growing demands on the human psyche to strive for excellence and individuality—and, not to give into cantankerous masses.

  17. The Conclusion Paragraph TAKE NOTES • Is made up of four (4) parts: • Transition • In conclusion, to end with, to summarize • Restate your main idea • Restate your support • A question or zinger • “Wouldn’t you…” “Don’t you…”

  18. Example“What is your favorite fast food restaurant? Why is it your favorite fast food restaurant? NO NOTES • In conclusion, I believe that Wendy’s is the most delicious fast food restaurant. As I have stated before, I believe their restaurant is made delicious because of their square burgers, their crispy French fries, and their smooth, creamy frosties. With these tasty items in mind, don’t you think it’s time to get in your car and drive to Wendy’s now?

  19. Some Last Tips TAKE NOTES • Faced with a difficult prompt? • Use your imagination • Hard prompt? Focus on one or two sensory details. • Take “the path of least resistance” • If the prompt can be answered in yes/no, take the easier answer, even if you disagree with it!

  20. Some Last Tips NO NOTES • DW#1: Ban of electronic devices during school • Imagine walking through the corridors of a school. You stop and listen carefully—beeping, whizzing, and whirling sounds fill the air…. • DW #2: The student government representative prompt • There is a well-dressed man up on stage. The crowd stands in awe as he delivers a well-executed speech. The sound is thunderous applause…

  21. Your Prompt NO NOTES • Write for 60 minutes on the following prompt on the next slide. • This is a mock FCAT Writes! • Talk during the 60 minutes = 0% • If bell rings before 60 minutes is over, you must finish for homework. • It will be your first grade of the 3rd quarter—why not start with an “A”?

  22. Your Prompt NO NOTES • Your class plans to eat out at a special place for an end of the year celebration. • Think about where your class should eat for the celebration. • Now write to convince the class why the celebration should be held at the place that you think is the best.
