September 15 - 19

This week, we'll revise and edit our first "Response to Literature" paragraphs.  We'll also go through your first essay about Abercrombie and Fitch, and read "The Most Dangerous Game" short story to learn about plot elements.

MONDAY:  Go through your RTL paragraphs with the rubric.  Read short story "The Most Dangerous Game," making notes as you go. HW: Finish and double check RTL paragraphs. 

TUESDAY: Notes about plot elements. Relate those to "The Most Dangerous Game" and discuss its theme.

WEDNESDAY: Silent, sustained reading.  Please bring your independent reading book and log.  You should have 165 pages read and logged by October 1, including pages about a current event/issue.  We will be working on independent projects based on this reading.

THURSDAY: Plot activity in groups.  Go over "Most Dangerous Notes" with plot elements of the short story in notes.  

FRIDAY: Current event/issue day.  Read and annotate an article and outline your response.  Write out the (persuasive) argument essay for Monday.
