If this was not finished today in class, it should be finished for homework.
This sheet should help give people an idea of the tones present in their poem and what emotion they should use in presenting it.
Next, we returned to practicing our poem recitations. We reviewed the warrior I option from yesterday and today I introduced the warrior II variation. People were free to recite their poem with a partner or use the warrior competition variations as a way to challenge themselves in the recitation process (instructions for warrior II are below).

In the second half of class, we focused on the sanctions experienced by Melinda in the first marking period section of the book. Working in pairs, groups wrote down the sanctions that they had recorded. If they did not have sanctions to write down groups took note of questions to discuss and questions to clear up. These sheets were handed in to me at the end of the class. We will work with the sanction sheets tomorrow in class.
Homework:
If you did not do so today in class, finish the Poetry and Tone sheet.
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.
