Read the left side and answer questions 1-15 on the study guide

Write a paragraph in google docs and upload here. (I've attached the video if you need a reminder.)

This semester, in what areas of school and your personal life do you need to remember to have a practice zone? What habits or behaviors might you want to work on to meet your goals for this semester? 

Add rhyme scheme to your terms!
We will discuss on Wednesday, but you should start marking it up and answering it. Do NOT use the book as direction.

And start the study guide

Finish reading and the attached questions for scenes 4 and 5.

Read the excerpts. Then, in your notebooks, write a personal response to TWO of them. You may write your own version, you may include sketching and/or color, you might write in paragraph form about what it reminds you of, or any number of other ideas.

Read Act 1, scenes 1-3
You can read the right-hand side of the page (with the more modern translation).  


THEN, answer the questions for scenes 1 and 2-3 on a document to upload here. 

Make a list of the qualities and interests of your ideal partner. Make it specific and add a lot of detail!
And then create a second list of what a parent might list as what they would think of the qualities and interests of your ideal partner.

This is just for PRACTICE. Do your best

After you finish the vocabulary.com quizzes, go to my GoogleSite and select the "Unit 2" tab/page. Scroll down to the two slide presentations about Shakespeare. Read the "Shakespeare History Background" and take some notes on the ideas of Renaissance humanism. (and read about all the fun Henry VIII drama). Then read and take notes on "Shakespeare's Life and Theatre."

Read Roxane Gay's essay, and then explain how she uses detail to explain her purpose and ideas.

You will write about one aspect of your life, one time period, a snapshot of who you are. This will not be your life story, nor will it capture every aspect of who you are. You will write about a particular time in your life that reveals an aspect of your identity. You want to choose a time that was memorable or significant—perhaps a time you had to grow up, a time you were filled with excitement, a time you fell in love (with someone or something), a time you suffered a loss, or a time you learned something. 

In whichever way you choose. See attached examples.

Write a paragraph comparing Jess's mom and Xiomara's mom.

Read this essay from former student, Luka. (He wrote this as a 10th grader.) Be ready to discuss how he writes this essay.

Upload a photo of the THREE details AND commentary you picked.

They should be details (in quotes) that either help you understand the author OR the setting.

Read and annotate, again specifically looking for how detail helps your understanding. 

Rewrite EITHER your "Where I'm From . . ." OR "When I Grow Up" OR one of your superQWs into something you could share

1. Share one cool thing
2. Discuss who you think is the audience for this piece and take notes
3. Discuss how details help you relate and understand who she was (be specific about the details) and take notes.
4. Turn in here.

Annotate notice/wonder/think

Heart of the Poem Say/Mean/Matter in NOTEBOOK

On a document or on her essay, answer the following. Make sure you are ready to share in class. 
Who do you think is her audience for this essay and why?
Find 2 quotes that include specific details that help you better understand Kaling and/or her friends. After each quote, explain how it helps you understand them.

Read and annotate (notice/wonder/think) the excerpt from Crying in H Mart ("What My Mother Ate . . .")

We are reading this an example of a personal essay.

Mark what you notice/wonder/think about Tan and how she reveals an aspect of her identity.

Figure out which parts of The Poet X fit into each part of the plot chart.

For the first four terms: In the box next to the definition, explain who in The Poet X might fit and a little about why.

and be ready for another reading quiz

Annotate (wonder/notice/think) and complete a Say/Mean/Matter about what you think is the "heart" of the poem (in your notebook).

Use one of the below strategies to explain some of your thoughts on the reading in Part 2. (Write a few sentences.)
READING STRATEGIES:

Ask Questions: Asking questions keeps you aware of what is going on in a story. You may begin them as “I wonder . . .” statements. As you read further, try to seek out the answers to your questions.
Identify with a Character: This doesn’t mean you agree with or even like a character, but that you attempt to understand their motives and feelings.
Make Connections: Does the reading connect with your prior knowledge in any way? Record how it connects to what you know about history, science, other literature, or the real world. Does it connect with you personally?
Identify Writer’s Style: Find instances of figurative language and other literary devices that you think are evidence of the author’s unique style. What effect do these devices have on the overall story?
Identify Symbols and/or Motifs: After reading several chapters, record symbols or recurring motifs that the author uses and explain their significance to the overall story.
Learn Something New: Often a novel will spark questions that are not directly about the storyline itself but about something unknown to you such as a vocabulary term, a historical event, a connection. Stop reading for a moment to look up the unknown idea/term and learn something new. Please cite the page number.

THROUGH page 172.

That on your Poet X character chart, you have lots of CD/CM traits for Xiomara, Xavier, and Mami, and start adding to the other characters.

Also, review any capitalization rules that are unfamiliar--quiz on Wednesday.

Watch the attached TED Talk from Maysoon Zayid. Then, respond to the following in a few sentences each: 

What do you think is her central purpose and why do you think that?
How do you think Zayid might define success? 
Reflect on her talk in general, and what you could possibly learn from it.

Bring the book you chose for your memoir/biography to class.

In your NOTEBOOK. You should have some of your own notes and reflections, and then respond to these.

1. Hawk and Yu have essentially the same audience, but very different purposes. For each of them, write what you think the central purpose of the essay is, and explain why you think that is the purpose.
2. They both use personal details to support their points. For each of them, select at least two personal details given. Explain how the detail helps make their point stronger.
3. Which of them do you believe has the right idea? Or are they both correct? Explain your perspective.

Read/listen to Grandin's "This I Believe" essay. Then write here (or on a doc that goes here):

How does she explain and support her purpose? Use a couple of brief quotes to explain how.

Read the linked Op-Ed from Lizzo, and then write in your notebook about one or more of the quotes I picked.

Everyone should have the ideal classroom notes from the last class open. As a group, create a new document and, using the ideas from the notes of ideal classrooms, create some statements in the form of your rights and your responsibilities in the classroom. We cannot change any school rules through our charter, though. 
--Alas, I have no control over the temperature. :-( It might be hard to believe, but it used to be worse!
We can start with one right that I want to include: 
We have the right to learn skills that will help us throughout high school and after, and for the teacher to use a variety of methods to help us learn the material.

Read through the whole list of comments. Then: 
HIGHLIGHT IN GREEN the ones that you notice come up several times (they don't need to be phrased exactly the same).
