ORANGE DAY

COLLEGE PREP

Today we read and finished THROUGH 81 (we read the last three pages together...)

We discussed what Francis learned from table tennis....on a metaphorical level....

I gave you half the class to work on your book talk, since these are to be presented on FRIDAY

There was a writing prompt you were asked to do during the first half of class. The prompt is as follows:

Describe the life lessons Francis learns from table tennis....on a metaphorical level....how is he learning MORE than JUST table tennis? THEN, explain something that has taught YOU lessons about life, growing up, etc. What have you learned from this thing??


COLLEGE ENGLISH

A reminder that your BEOWULF composition is due TUESDAY

Today we revisited some of the EpicHero stereotypes and generalizations we took notes on last time....I gave you an additional graphic organizer with EIGHT more EpicHero stereotypes on it...we did this in groups and then we discussed....

We went over the layout and formula of a good compare/contrast composition, and I gave you a double sided sheet with some good examples on it...there was a sample of a composition from last year where the student compared Beowulf with SpongeBob!

We will begin film on Friday
