Home studies, Week of 3/19 - 3/23/07
1st and 3rd periods: Your new forum for discussion is at: https://chrysalis.wikispaces.com/ Please go and post there instead of here (it's easier, and you can sign in so you don't have to keep typing "this is me." Keep reading your book on your own and in class. At least once a day during the week and once over the weekend, post a question or answer a question /add a comment at the new forum. The only rule is, you can't ask a second question until you've either answered someone else's question or posted a comment.2nd period: come prepared to present your chosen author to the group. Individual presentations should be 5 minutes; group presentations, 10 minutes. For home study on Tuesday night, read the text by your author in the book and come prepared to tell the rest of the class about it on Wednesday.
4th period: Don't forget you have a spelling test Tuesday! Thursday and over the weekend, make your list of Works Cited.
5th period: If you didn't bring your songs to present Monday, then Tuesdayyou have to bring both songs and lyrics! Here is the old assignment: "Over the weekend, gather a collection of at least three songs you like whose lyrics deal with realizations of the artist or a character the artist has created. Bring them Monday and play the songs for the class (we have a cd player and a tape player, and we can plug speakers into an MP3 player). Make sure to highlight the moments of realization in your presentation and show similarities and differences between the way the narrator of each song handles his/her "epiphany."" Over the weekend, finish reading to the end of Chapter IV of "How Much Land Does a Man Need?".
