First, fourth, and sixth periods ended units on an excerpt from Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. We’ll be having a very short selection test tomorrow.

Second period worked on editing their second drafts. We spent a little time concentrating on the lead, but we also looked at content gaps again.

Homework
  • First period:
    • study for the selection test.
    • re-write assignment on a personally influencial book.
  • Fourth and sixth periods:
    • questions 1-7 (pg 470);
    • “Autobiography” side of handout (sixth period only; fourth period completed in class);
    • study for the selection test.
  • Second period: complete edits and create third draft.
