Journal #2: Creating a Family Tree for Count of Monte Cristo
IN CLASS TODAY:
Opening prompt: What complex thing do you know, and how did you come to know it?
A neat little thing about cutting a slot in an index card and reading a passage through that slot, line by line, to cut out visual distraction that slows down reading speed and makes concentration harder (at least, for visual learners).
Discussion of article "Is Google Making Us Stoopid?" focusing on how the nature of reading has changed, and how the reality we live in (a technologically advanced one) actually kind of thwarts our efforts toward mastery.
Collection of journal responses.
Overview of "Bloom's Taxonomy" and why it matters to the sophomore curriculum/you.
Distribution of Family Tree journal. If you have questions, you should contact me right away.

Click here for a copy of today's notes. Again, I added a lot which is meant to be really helpful to you, so take a look!
HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
- Complete the Family Tree Diagramming assignment passed out in class today. Your homework will be checked during class. You should be thorough in naming characters and indicating the nature of relationships on the connecting lines. Trees that simply list character names will be considered incomplete. Your tree may be drawn out by hand (this will actually be easier). Need the characters? (some are minor, but you should be able to figure them out.)
