1. Pull up a calendar and your independent reading books. Note how many pages/chapters you have remaining to read for Independent Reading. Make a plan, using a calendar, for how to finish your reading by Friday, December 11th (finished by class time on that day). This is about 8 weeks from now. Know that your teacher is committed to making Independent Reading your only work to do at home over the weekends throughout this quarter.
2. The first of many reminders: purchase Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and have it ready to read by Monday, 11/2 (2 weeks). Any edition is fine, but I do recommend the Penguin classics edition; it has neat maps and things.
3. Go to our Google Drive folder. From "Intro to Poetry," download "Intro to Poetry" notes and "Intro to Poetry Reader." Save both of them in Notability. You may place them both in the Reading Notes section, or may create a new category titled "Intro to Poetry."
*These documents may also be found via links under "Units of Study."
*In groups, read the first two poems, and discuss how each poem approaches the theme of love differently.
*If there is time, we will begin the Poetry Key Terms notes.
HW--
Purchase Great Expectations by Monday, 11/2.
Finish creating a plan for finishing your indie reading by Friday, December 11th, and stick to it.
