Today, your first reading assignment in To Kill A Mockingbird was due -- chapters 1-3. Even though chapter 1 might take the award for "slowest opening chapter of a great book," the subsequent events seemed to interest, if not enthrall, you, and most people came to class prepared.
That was a good idea, because a reading/writing assessment greeted you. Students who had completed the reading assignment responded to one prompt, and students who had not completed the reading tackled another prompt. See below:
"Reading Completed" and "Reading Not Completed" Prompts
Regardless of your state of readiness, you all worked diligently to complete the writing assignments, and finished them in varying degrees of time: some of you wrote up to the end of the period.
Your short-term homework (which has been assigned for a week) is to finish the poetry recitation packet that was assigned last Tuesday. Information about it can be found on last week's Tuesday, February 7 blog entry. Your long-term homework -- REALLY long-term -- is to complete a lot of To Kill A Mockingbird reading in time for Monday, February 22. Please check the syllabus for complete reading assignments and due dates.
Use this blog to see what we did in class today, to access handouts and other resources, and to check in about homework.

Guidelines for Book Review Assignments
(due every other Thursday, beginning Feb. 4)
1. Your review must be on a book that you have read within the last six months.
2. Every OTHER review may be on a graphic novel.
3. Your review must be at least two paragraphs long, and may be longer.
4. Each paragraph must be 5-8 sentences.
5. Review must contain enough of a summary so that someone who is reading your review, but knows nothing about the book, will get a good sense of what the book is about. However, it should not be all summary; a review is mostly your opinion of the book.
6. Don't just state your opinion- explain WHY you feel the way you feel about the book.
See the link below for some examples:
