Today was our final day to prepare for our guests, who will be arriving on Wednesday (Noam) and Thursday (Janos Benisz, Holocaust survivor). Students are excited about the visitors, and have planned many thoughtful questions for them.
I also gave out the in-class paragraph writing date: block 3 will write on Monday November 5th, and block 6 will write on Tuesday November 6th. The topics to consider, in preparation for your in-class expository paragraph, are as follows:
1. A topic/question about relationships in the book.
2. A topic/question about theme in the book.
3. A topic/question about characters in the book.
4. A topic/question about conflicts in the book.
5. A topic/question about connections between the book and your life/the world/other texts.
You will choose ONE topic to write on (the specific topics will be given to you on the day of your write), and you will be evaluated on your ideas and your writing.
Please see me if you have any questions about how to prepare for this in-class writing assignment.
