I want to hear your stories!

As an educator interested in open and honest reflection on the realities of teaching, I DO want to know your stories, as you see them. Please follow this link to the anonymous form if you are willing to share. I am interested in the stories of students and parents.

IN Class, Friday 2/28

For 1984 our discussions will switch back and forth between small and whole group discussion. Today, will be small group, Monday will be whole class, etc.

Topic for today: Character/Characterization and Style. I've compiled the discussion questions generated by both classes for EACH of you to take notes on during the discussion. Your discussion notes will prove your level of participation in the discussion. So...write copious notes. What do you take notes on? You decide.


At the end of class I will also pass out copies of Handmaid's Tale for you to begin reading and if you haven't gotten it back already, your Hamlet pre-assessment.

Reading Schedule for Handmaid's Tale: 

--At least 30 pages per night every night
--Take notes in one of the following styles: 
1. Post-it note personal responses throughout the book. Write on the post-its!
2. Free-write personal response/connections of 3/4 page minimum after each reading session.
