Period 1,3 and 5 (English Language Arts)—

• Power Sentences

• Review of Tone Unit passages -    For each passage, use the handout (see stack on top of my wooden lectern) to check and see if you  properly identified the author’s tone in each passage.  If you got either tone word incorrect for each passage, you need to write the following information on the back of your Tone Answer Sheet.  

1. Evaluate what went wrong in identifying the tone.  
2. Clue words- did you choose the wrong clue words?  
3. Patterns for clue words- Did you not notice patterns?  Was there a shift in tone that you missed?
4. Did you write the wrong word for one or both tone?  Did you not have the right definition or misunderstand the tone word you used?
5. For each missed tone word, write up an evaluation of what you missed or misunderstood based on the above questions.  

Work individually or with a partner on the following pages of their Reader.

• Soapstone packet - The Analysis Paragraph Section- work individually or in teams in order to finish the following:

• Page 1 and 2- highlight important information, then write a 3 to 5 sentence summary of each page at the bottom of the page in the blank space. 15 minutes
• Page 4-  Read, highlight and annotate page 4, the Mark Twain prompt.  When they are done reading, highlighting and annotating, they will fill in page 3 with a partner.  They can help each other to understand how to fill in page 3, but not copy.- 20 minutes
• Page 5 and 6- highlight any parts of pages 5 and 6 to identify how collegeboard did the fill in the blank section differently than each student. 5 to 10 minutes
