Overview from 4/13 and Assignment due 5/4

Today we watch a video (click here to see the video) and students were asked to take it in on the first viewing and then try to find as many signposts as we could on the second viewing. We found 4 out of 6 signposts in the video, and several of them (again & again and contrasts & contradictions) were seen multiple times in different instances. They then had to write which signposts they found and answer the anchor questions/ mention the literary element the signpost reveals. THIS IS WHAT IS WILL BE EXPECTED on 5/4 for our signpost test except the students will read a story instead of watch a video.

FOR MAY 5--
1. Students should finish their 3rd book and do ONE more journal entry for that book.
2. Study each of the six signposts of fiction for a signpost test. This will be a closed note test because I will be grading student journals while they are testing. They need to know how to identify each signpost, know the anchor question that goes with it, AND know which of the literary elements go with each one.

Message me with questions.
