We took another 10 minutes in class to read IR books. Students are logging this time. Students who fail to bring in their IR books are losing out on this important time to read but not all is lost as they are doing test prep. Students need to be sure to be reading at home as well. The expectation is that they will be reading their independent reading book for no less than 90 minutes per week and logging this time. Please help remind them of this responsibility.
Period 1: Background Jack London and influences on his writing. Also a discussion of the opening quote of the book that suggests characteristics that have seemingly disappeared can, if given the right circumstances, reappear. HW: read IR and log/ Cornell notes
Period 2,7,8:
We began reading The Call of the Wild and since it was the exposition of the book, we were introduced to the main character and the setting of the book. HW: read IR and log and Cornell notes.
