English 9: Blocks 1/2

Over the past few days, I've given students a lot of time to work on their independent novel studies. They were given a portfolio assignment to complete as they read their novel.

Yesterday, we read the section "Emaline" in The Crazy Man, discussed stereotypes of 'crazy', and worked on a poetic devices chart.

Today, we read the section "Angus" and students filled out an 'Active Listening' worksheet for the chapter.

Reminders:

• "Angus" Active Listening sheet- due Monday, Jan. 9, 2017  if it wasn't completed in class
