Today we read and annotated individually the story Thank you Ma'am by Langston Hughes. We then wrote a summary of the story trying to limit it only to the big ideas of the story--this was done in the reflections section of the readers notebook. We then mapped the plot of the story with a partner. This too was completed in the reader's notebook. I also collected old logs (2/23-3/2) and students filled out a new log (3/2-3/9).
HW: Answer the following question in your reader's notebook right under your plot diagram:
Reflect on the story--What do you think of the kindness Mrs. Jones bestows upon Roger? Is it deserved or not? Explain using details from the text.AND read/log/post it
If you were absent be sure to:
- hand in your log upon your return (if you were absent you will see an mi and a 0 in PS--That will go away once you turn it in on your return)
- read the short story linked above and annotate it.
- Summarize the story in your RN
- map the plot of the story and
- do the hw for tonight
