Monday, October 15, 2012

Hi everyone! It's Roxana and I'm this week's English blog scribe.

Today's agenda:

  • SSR (20 minutes, as always)
We were also able to catch up a bit today and reach 11 books read for the book competition.
  • Song Parodies
Ms. Ortega played "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys and then played the parody "eBay" by Weird Al Yankovic. She showed us this because we will need to do a final presentation on our Literature Circle books, and a song parody is one of the options for this final performance.
  • L.C. Discussion Prep
You could either discuss a research piece about your book, or work on a song parody covering a summary of your Literature Circle book. She asked that you only work on this for one discussion session, and you could perform it if your group wished.
  • Song Share Out
Today, two people were chosen to share out what their group discussions were about. Sydney shared a summary of V for Vendetta, while I shared a summary of Persepolis.

Homework

Print out your Writing Workshop piece that was turned in on Saturday, and also print out what was written about your piece in the peer review.
