7/22: Lit Terms Posters
22 July 2008 02:04 PM
Today’s
lesson plan changed a bit (you might get used to that now; this
blog was set up for that very reason!).
Bellwork:
What are your expectations for this course? What are your expectations for me? What are your expectations for yourself?
Nouns PowerPoint presentation
Brief tour of MrTonk.com
Students got into groups and each group was assigned a literary term. Groups created posters that contained only an image - text was only allowed in order to understand the image. Each image must help explain each literary term - or, as I told 4th hour, the picture IS your definition of the term. 4th hour was required to write three examples.
Zero hour put their posters on the wall; 4th hour was required to find the zero hour poster corresponding to their own groups’ posters and put their posters up next to zero hour’s posters.
Homework assigned:
Read “The Seafarer”. Take two-page reading notes using this format, where the squiggly line represents the center of the notebook when you have a page on the left and a page on the right. Assigned reading focus: examples of literary terms (from the previous day’s list) found in “The Seafarer.”
