9H, Period 5
H.W.: Complete your Character project, due
Wednesday,
SWBAT: present their representations of their characters to the whole class.
DO NOW: Character Self-Evaluation, attach it to the character analysis. Past your portrait of your character to the construction paper. Make sure your name is on the back of the construction paper and put your character’s name, legibly beneath the portrait as it might actually be in the museum. (I’ll draw an example, perhaps?)
DEVELOPMENT:
1. Review that essays and multiple choice tests will be returned as soon as possible. Don’t nag me. That only delays things.
2. I will distribute construction paper. Students are to paste their portraits onto the construction paper, as explained in the DO NOW.
3. Students present their portraits explaining why they portrayed their characters as they did.
4. If time allows, ask students to put up portraits? Or see if they can name the parts of speech.
5. Mythology is our next unit. You will be doing group projects to present these myths to the class. Distribute Edith Hamilton, Mythology.
H.W.: 1. Read pp. ???? in Mythology. Which myth would you like to present to the class?
SWBAT: view a
cinematic version of To Kill a
Mockingbird
DO NOW: Get ready to see a wonderful film. J
DEVELOPMENT:
1. View film and stop to discuss similarities to text, and interesting visual techniques. I will collect character projects and copies of Mockingbird as students view the film and I will distribute copies of Bullfinch’s Mythology at the same time….
2. Discuss characterization, casting, etc.
3. Group share/review. We will continue watching this during period 4 – 8th grade lunch tomorrow. :) What way we can watch the whole thing before break.
H.W.: 1. Please brown bag it
tomorrow, or get a pass from me to buy and then come directly to class. I will be showing the movie during period 4,
so you will miss A LOT of it if you do not skip lunch. You are definitely not required to do so, but
I REALLY think you should…. J 2. Read
pp. 11-21 in Bullfinch’s Mythology. 3. Write a post on
our blog. What do you think is
Bullfinch’s thesis in his preface? What
supporting arguments does he make for this thesis? Do you agree or disagree with him? Why or why not? 4. Start
thinking! Yes, thinking for
homework? It’s a world gone mad! Which myth would you like to present to
the class?

the library, then present before Thanksgiving?
