Good morning! Please take out your bookand your reading guide and copy down today’s learning target. Have your SP proposal? Turn it in to the folder up front, please! Learning Target: Use specific text evidence to support your claims in whole group discussions “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” Winston Churchill 2 Oct. 2013
Agenda 10/2/13 • Bellwork • Discussion time! Homework: TTTC: By the beginning of class Friday-complete the last page of the guide. Senior Project: Typed up complete proposal draft due by the end of the day TODAY(email or mailbox by 3:00!)
Bellwork 10/2/13 Have your reading guide out to be checked, please! • “Say something” about the reading • This could be a claim about his writing, a question, an observation, etc. It should be a complete sentence, and should reflect a “senior level” insight (no super obvious stuff!) • Support that “something” with an example/reference from the text (including page number)
During Discussion everyone should listen, and everyone should share • When you’re sharing, • Reference the page number/story and give some context to your question/comment/observation • “In the chapter ‘Style,’ the soldiers are walking through a village that was burned down and they see the girl dancing…what is O’Brien trying to say with the different ways the soldiers respond to her?” • Be an active listener! • Have your book out and find the pages being referenced • Look at the person talking…but not so much it’s creepy. • Don’t work on other assignments • You don’t have to raise hands, but make sure to be aware of others trying to pop into the conversation. Don’t dominate, please!
Reflection • How’d you do? • Anything to work on for our next discussion Friday? Learning Target: Use specific text evidence to support your claims in whole group discussions
