Today we practiced creating "significance" answers for the quote test on Block Day. See the link from yesterday for an example. Afterwards, we created a study card for the test which included characters, their manner of speaking, keywords, and their influence on IM. If you missed today, you will have the first few minutes of class to do this.

Test Day!

Today we took the test over Invisible Man. If you missed the test, you can make it up either Wednesday after school or Thursday morning in test makeup.

Block Day, March 23,24

We spent the first part of class piecing together the Invisible Man "quilt" of themes, symbols and motifs.

After that was finished, we had a graded discussion over the IM essay posted on studywiz. If you were absent, you have to make this up. In order to do so, you must still read the essay, create 5 discussion questions, and answer them fully using textual evidence from the essay AND the book. This is due Tuesday.

Today you had a choice of three things to do:

1. Work on your packets (which will be used as a study guide and are due after the test Friday).

2. Work on your assigned theme or motif (see me for the list if you were absent).

3. Read the IM, Washington, DuBois essay on studywiz (come to class with 5 prepared discussion questions for a graded class discussion).

Monday, March 21

We took the last (phew) IM reading quiz over Ch. 22 - Epilogue. If you missed it, you can come to test makeup Wendesday afternoon or Thursday morning.

After the quiz, we spent time in our groups working on the packet.

Friday, March 18

Today we went to the media center, found a comfy spot, and read. Your DPP reviews are due on block day (since we've had some technical issues). Please see me if you are still unable to access your assigned project.

This weekend, finish reading IM and prepare for a quiz over chapters 22-the epilogue.
