Continue working on your Treasure Island essays and study for Thursday's vocab test. Happy Halloween!
Brainstorm and consider beginning your outline for your Treasure Island essay. Don't forget that Vocab 5 is due Monday, and that the test date has been changed to next THURSDAY November 4th because you will be taking IOWAs on Friday.
Have a great weekend! With the ideas from today's seminar fresh in your mind (and your notes), review once again your prompt for the expository essay and make some notes about what you might like to write about. We will discuss the essay in-depth tomorrow. We will also review your test.
Tonight you will prepare evidence for our first socratic seminar by completing this assignment. You must PRINT it and bring it to class along with your annotated copy of Treasure Island tomorrow.
You will be graded using our Socratic Seminar Rubric. Review the rubric to be sure you understand what is expected of you. The ideas we gather during our seminar will be your starting point for our Treasure Island Expository Essay. We will discuss this more in-depth in class, but you may wish to review the requirements of the essay prior to our seminar; knowing what you'll be writing about can help guide your notes during the seminar. Today in class you will be taking your second STAR reading test using this link.
Don't forget that tomorrow is your Treasure Island test over the entire novel! Continue reviewing your annotations and quizzes. Vocab 5 is due Monday, October 31st; test is Friday, November 4th.
Study annotations and past quizzes to prepare for Wednesday's Treasure Island test. Study for tomorrow's Unit 4 vocab test.
