Today, we finished the Socratic Seminar discussion and students reflected in writing (on the bottom of the handout) about class on Friday. Then everyone turned in the chart.
We then met in partners to fill out "Comparing Two or More Texts," using chapter 2 and The New York Times column by Frank Bruni. We shared out in a full class discussion at the end of class.
I have moved the final assessment to Wednesday, since tomorrow is a short day. I am attaching a link to a great site with practice tests for the Scarlet Letter. I hope you find it helpful. Tomorrow we will spend some time reviewing themes, symbols and plot in a friendly competition.
Scarlet Letter study help
One last thing....we have just discovered that three of us have signed up to teach the same book (The Grapes of Wrath) at the same time. Argh!!!! If there at at least 33 of you who are willing to purchase this book, we would like to know ASAP.(see the poll on the top right of this blog) We are hoping to start it next week.
