HW: Read “Journal Journey” and write first entry: “Who’s the most interesting character (complicated/complex, maybe good + bad, hard to figure out, etc.) in all the stories you’ve read or films you’ve seen (not TV sit-coms)? Why is that character interesting?” DAY 6 (LCD projector or Monitor)

DAY 8 (abbreviated schedule :39) (handouts)
• Introduce regular pursuits: - read “Keeping a Portfolio” quietly while M returns first mini-essay, place in portfolio kept in room - “Daily Dose” – choose 3 you wish to focus on & write down on recording sheet - “Weekly Widgets” – could be every other week, etc. - Latin Roots: packet + Rules (probably won’t do the full-class points approach if we do a trial run and it’s too much – we may do a full- class teams review + quizzes that are cumulative – i.e. each subsequent quiz includes all previous roots/words)
***suggested Latin Roots option: each student puts a dash (-) to the left of the words they’d like to cover. Each day we’ll call on different student to “serve up” a root, its meaning, and examples. When each word is covered, students turn their dash into a plus (+) or place a plus where there was no mark. Once we’ve covered enough for a quiz (about 10), we’ll cover the ones with a +. Each quiz will cover the new words plus those previously covered. So, on a 10-question, 20-pt quiz, there will be ten words initially, but could be 50 or more late in the term.
