Students began with a journal write this morning.
Students then had a mini quiz to assess their understanding of chapter 9 from The Outsiders. Students will have a quiz on chapters 9 and 10 next class.
Students watched a brief demonstration of skim reading. We then skim read through the book and found quotations that describe a chosen character. Students were responsible for marking five quotations using sticky notes.
We discussed the hot-seat, which is how students' character studies will be assessed.
Finally, students practiced orally how to respond correctly to a question in written form. It is imperative that students use part of the question in their responses.
Chapter 10 is to be read for homework. As well, any students who have not completed their chapter 5 questions (1-5) must complete these for homework.
