English 3 -- We will have Socratic Circles today. You MUST have your annotated text to participate and to receive a grade.
English 4 -- We will discuss "A Fable for Tomorrow" and the five questions assigned. Next, we will practice organizational patterns in comparison and contrast. Go to http://wps.ablongman.com/long_long_rw_1/0,8256,1453897-,00.html with a partner. Answer the questions and have the results emailed to me. Finally, do the following:
1. Find a partner. You must work with a peer.2. Link to Yahoo! Movies (http://movies.yahoo.com)3. Choose a movie (that is either in theaters or on its way) and click on the link for that movie. 4. Scroll down the movie's page until you find the "report-card" of reviews. 5. After browsing the entire set of reviews (you can click on the "more" option to get this), choose two reviews to compare. (When picking your reviews, try to steer clear of reviews that are extremely similar in their criticisms, or reviews that are very short.) 6. Decide on the structure you will use and formulate an outline. You'll have to decide if your comparison is either a point-to-point comparison or whole-to-whole comparison.
7. Turn in your outline with BOTH of your names on it.
For homework, read Dave Barry's "The Ugly Truth About Beauty" and answer question 1 on the first set of questions, and all four questions on the second set.
Speech -- We will continue Chapter 4. Today, we will discuss telephone conversations and practice some. If time allows, we will also discuss interviews.
Reading Lab -- Remember to look up unknown words on your bookmark and put a star or "ok" by them once you know what they mean.
