11s- Hurray! We're working together again...it has been an interesting process for me to be in the passenger seat and watch you work with Ms. Johnson...it's great to be back, I've missed you.
Today we launched into something completely new. We will be working in Literature Circle groups for the next month and so today was the beginning of that process. I've put you into your groups, apologies, you definitely did not ALL get your first/second choices. The groups look great though! You all made some interesting choices, I can't wait to get started.
Term 3 Reading Goal check-ins today - only one more to go. Where are you at with your reading? We also conducted a practice lit circle session.
10s - As hinted at last week there will be a quiz on WED MAY 16th on the poetic terms worksheet we've been working with for the last few weeks. You will definitely want to make sure that you are familiar with all the terms/types of poems (so front and back of sheet will be covered on the quiz). The quiz is 16 marks and will only take you 10-15 minutes to complete. If you don't bother to study it will be difficult. So study.
"Richard Cory" - we completed a proper TPCASTT.
Poetry and politics - Gemma talked about the turbulence in Ireland and we looked through two poetic responses. "Soldier" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday".
