Period 1: I checked Cornell notes today while you wrote stories about the Fountain of Youth. Be sure you are reacting in your Cornell notes --don't just retell. We also started reading "Dr. Heideggers Experiment" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. You read a bit with your class mates and began annotating the first read through. The annotations should be brief and be a combination of vocab defintions and reactions to what your are reading. In asking you to do this I am begging you to SLOW DOWN and check for understanding! I know you all can read the words I want to be convinced you are trying hard to understand them as well.
Period 2, 7,8: We read "Thank You M'am" by Langston Hughes today. As you were reading you were encouraged to stop and discuss the story as you came to the end of paragraphs and pages to ensure understanding. Your homework is to read in your IR books and complete several Cornell Notes--your book is due Nov. 17!!
