English 8

September 17 2013

Today students began with a 20 minute journal write.

Students then summarized, as a group, chapter three of The Outsiders.  Students were asked to pick a paragraph from chapter three that they found important or interesting.  Students were asked to write three sentences explaining the connection of the paragraph to 1) self, 2) the outside world, and 3) to another story.

Students finally read their paragraphs to each other and shared one connection.

Finally, we began reading chapter four.
