Welcome to Week 2. I know there were some issues with accessing this last week, so I'm trying again and hope more people are able to access it this week.
This is by no means required reading, it's just here with more detail for those who like to really dig into what we're doing, and why.
Both my English 9 and English 10 were doing the same thing last week since everything was about introduction and trying to find out what skills my students have since it's been six months since we were really in the classroom. Last week we got our routines going with Journals to start, finding the organizational methods on Google Classroom and learning how to submit and use different technological platforms, exploration of self through a series of writing assignments called "Who Am I?", and Exit Tickets focusing primarily on the Habits of Mind. In the first week I'm pretty flexible with what gets turned in and graded, and also with deadlines. Now that we're all kind of acclimated I'm going to start tightening down.
This week in English 9, we'll finalize the Who Am I? writing and then move on to an introduction to short stories through the piece: "The Scarlet Ibis." This will begin our exploration of the theme of individuality through multiple genres. In English 10 they will also finalize the Who Am I? writing and then they are moving into the theme of the individual in society through the Ray Bradbury piece "The Sound of Thunder."
So the week looks like this:
English 9
