- There is a substitute teacher today: read "Noah and the Flood" on p. 70 of the literature textbook. Answer questions #2, #3, and #7 - due by the end of the hour.
Tuesday, September 24:
- Warm-Up
- Discuss "Noah and the Flood"
- Pass out and discuss handout/guidelines of Non-Fiction Friday. Students will bring an article to class every other Friday (switching between Fiction and Non-Fiction days) and respond to questions listed on the handout. Students will have 15 minutes to respond to and turn in the answers to the questions, along with the article itself. Next, a student will be chosen at random (through a number generator) to read his or her article aloud to the class. The same student will then lead discussion on the article by asking open-ended questions and calling on students, whose hands are raised, to respond. Discussion will continue until the end of the hour. Students receive points by responding to the article and speaking up in discussion at least once.
