Lost and Somewhat Found: February 16, 2017

Focus: What drives the characters to get lost (and, perhaps, to find their way back again)?

1. Warming up by reflecting on your grades and progress so far:

• Grade-wise, how do you think you're doing in American Literature?

• Are you happy with your grades so far? Do they accurately reflect what you're learning? Why or why not?

• Are you confused about anything in IC in this class? If so, please circle it and write down your question.

• Do you feel that anything in IC in this class is incorrect? If so, please circle it and explain your thinking.

• Name one concrete goal for the next six weeks in American Literature. "I will..."

2. Reading and blogging about The Color of Water; remember that your blogs need to be caught up by 3 pm tomorrow (Friday, Feb 17)

3. Discussing the titles of Chapters 15, 16, 17 in concentric circles

HW:
1. Read Chapters 18, 19, and 20 in The Color of Water and complete your blog entries bu Tuesday; check out my feedback on your previous ones and take on the challenge!

2. Tomorrow, bring in all the photos and artifacts you can dig up that have to do with your character.

3. All make-up work (grammar quizzes, reading blogs, etc.) due this tomorrow, Feb 17, by 3:00 pm, which is the end of six weeks. After that, the grades from the first six weeks stay as they are.
