First and fifth periods began by transforming a screenplay-style bit of dialogue into narrative dialogue. The passage in question was fromย Monster:
Briggs
The maximum sentence for the assault was how long? Do you know?Bolden
I wasn’t convicted.
There were several possible results, with each class having a handful of students creating each of the possibilities.
- โThe maximum sentence for the assault was how long?โ Briggs asked. โDo you know?โโI wasn’t convicted,โ Bolden growled.
- “The maximum sentence for the assault was how long? Do you know?” Briggs asked.”I wasn’t convicted,” Bolden replied.
- Briggs asked, โThe maximum sentence for the assault was how long? Do you know?โBolden replied, โI wasn’t convicted.โ
Afterward, we continued withย Monster, working thorugh a large amount of the text that is relatively low-density so we can get to the “good” parts that will produce evidence for our end-of-unit debate.
Second and fourth periods of course began by looking at a sentence fromย Great Expectations and determining its type. Today’s sentence led us to a quick overview of compound predicates.
Once that was done, students returned to yesterday’s work with shifting point of view.
Homework
- First and fifth periods: none.
- Second and fourth periods:
- complete the shifting point of view work (from class) as necessary, then put your pair’s work on the Estella point of view wiki;
- continue withย Great Expectations, completing through chapter 58 (next to last chapter) by next Friday (but doย not read the final chapter);
- continue with theย Lord of the Flies self-study project.
