Tuesday Blog and Reminders

Before I jump into suggested blog topics, I want to remind folks to bring a printed (typed) draft of their narrative essays tomorrow morning for some VERY IMPORTANT revision work we will be doing as we get started in the am.

As always, feel free to yak about your own topic here on the blog, but if you want some suggestions, here are a few:

  • Post an entry on the "Dialectic Notebook" process we did with "Ruth's Song"
  • Give a personal reaction to "Ruth's Song"
  • Discuss Brenda's Synonym teaching demo today.
  • Talk about what happened in your post-lunch group revisiting your discussion
  • Make some comments on where you are on the Inquiry Paper and the process of finding a topic.
  • Give a reaction to using the list in "Reading Rhetorically" that we used to help you hone in on what it is you want to write about.
I appreciate the writing you are doing here, and it is important to provide feedback to peers to do read and comment on your fellows' posts.  THANKS.

  1. The dialectic notebook helped me to think about and respond to this writing during a very emotional time. We are active participants in the reading and thinking we do. This helps to remind us of the importance of truly engaging with the text. I plan to use this strategy with my HOTS students.
