DAY 02 - CYCLE 02 - SEMESTER 01: 09-04-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:

Literary Terms
"Miriam" and Characterization
"Miriam" Discussion Questions

IN CLASS TODAY:
We continued with vicabulary, continuing with the next five words of unit 1: coherent, congeal, emulate. encomium, and eschew.

We spent five minutes figuring out what the totem pole might signify in "The Village Watchman."

We looked at the introduction to Junior Great Books.

We discussed Miriam, using your questions.  We counted off, with students whose chosen numbers were multiples of five being discussion leaders, which meant that they had to keep discussion going, and could only ask questions, not answer them.

We briefly looked at the literary terms sheet and the "Miriam" and Characterization worksheet.
