Today Mr. Janz was in for me.

English 10

Today we started off reviewing chapters 3 & 4.  What happened?  What stood out?  We reviewed verbally.  Next students looked at and discussed the following quote and students added allusion to their glossaries:

“Adam and Eve covered their privates with fig leaves; the first Indians covered their privates with their tiny hands.” 

Next students were instructed to do the following activities to go along with their reading of chapter 4, 5 & 6 (Because Geometry is not a Country in France, Hope against Hope and Go Means Go).

Before reading: 

     1.       What characteristics are important in a friend?

2.        Is Rowdy a good friend to Junior?  Support your answer with examples and explanation.

During reading:

1.       Pick out something that really stood out to you in the reading.  Record.

2.       Why did it stand out?  What do you think the author’s motivation was?

After reading:  Is Mr. P a good friend to Junior?  Explain.
