CYCLE 7 - DAY 1 - SEM 1: Beginning Watership Down

TODAY IN CLASS:

• Five words from Unit 4 vocabulary. (Group 4, we didn't get to this but will do so tomorrow. If you want to get a head start on your homework, start putting up sentences)
• Practice sentence diagramming quiz.
• Poll for interest in review sessions. I asked each class how many of you reviewed sentence diagramming over the weekend. Out of my 49 students, three of you half-heartedly raised a hand. I'd rather you work on your own as far as you can go and then come to me.
• Review of journals (some read aloud).
• Discussion question: what sort of situation inspires these traits?
• Begin Watership Down in Class.
• Self-participation review.
  
  HOMEWORK: Add 5 sentences to the wikispace. Read pages 1-22 in Watership Down and answer study guide questions. Study guide is available on both the wikispace and the portal.
