Based on the sanctions you observed between Melinda and your character(s), what do you think about Melinda's relationship with these people/this person.
After everyone responded to this prompt, we discussed the different relationships that people observed with the different groups of people. Everyone then had time to meet with their partner and check in on the sanctions that they observed.
We then spent some time looking at the proper adjective order for the pairings positive/negative, formal/informal, and psychological/physical. We will discuss the common use of this tomorrow.
We then began looking at the use of tones in poem. We talked about tone as being the emotion with which an idea is expressed. In class, I modeled a variety of different sentences using various tones and we discussed how people interpreted those tones.
I then handed out copies of the Poetry and Tone sheet. Everyone had the remaining time in class to begin copying their poem on to this sheet. We will be presenting poems in class on Friday.
Homework:
Practice your Poetry Out Loud poem in preparation for our presentations on Friday.
Read "Marking Period 2" in Speak for Thursday. Track sanctions between Melinda and your character group:
Principal Principal (no need to track other teachers here)
Various Teachers (not Mr. Freeman)
Complete or revise assignments as necessary.
