Today I began by checking student's homework for completion. It is imperative that students complete what I assign, as it will almost always affect students' ability to participate in the activity the following class.
Students participated in a fishbowl experiment, where myself and five other students participated in a literature circle, while the rest of the class acted as reporters with the task of finding two of the best techniques used to ensure meaningful and insightful conversations and connections to the story that had been assigned for homework.
Students were also handed a new reading log. Students are expected to read for 20 minutes five nights per week (or the equivalent thereof). When the log is complete, students should hand this in a take a new sheet.
Finally, students were assigned a new class novel today, Trapped By Coal.
HOMEWORK: Students should have a connection (text to self, text, or world) to share next class.
