BLACK DAY
ENGLISH 12
Today in class we finished "The Goonies" film...we did not have much time left at the end of class to write, so I will give you the first 25 minutes of class next time to compose your stuff. Remember: You are to describe how Mikey fits the elements of an "epic hero." Use at least three examples from the film that "match up" to the worksheet I gave you!
COLLEGE ENGLISH
Today we started with our character matching quiz....
A final study guide for chapters 46-50 was given...we went around the room and each person answered one question!
I gave some notes/discussion points on chapters 49 and 50 and explained how characters have been "FOILING" each other (see me if you don't know what that means!)
Going forward: I assigned the final composition today, so please see me if you have questions!!
I would like you to a) finish the book b) complete your composition by next THURSDAY MARCH 7 (this is also a half day)
Please note: During our next class--on Tuesday--I will give you time to work on paper, write, research, etc
THEN WE CAN WATCH THE MOVIE!!!

Today in class we went over the "Elements of Epic Hero Stories" chart again....as we begin watching "The Goonies," think about how the character of Mikey might "fit" some of these epic hero conventions...after going over the chart, we watched about the first 45 minutes of the film...we will finish on Wednesday! The actual writing assignment is as follows:
HOW IS MIKEY AN 'EPIC HERO?' DESCRIBE HOW HE FITS AT LEAST 3 OF THE ELEMENTS WE DISCUSSED IN CLASS. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO TOPIC SENTENCES AND PARAGRAPHS

Today we started by filling out a survey for Mrs Bouchard...
I distributed a "character web" that I made in an effort to see connections among characters...
This was followed up by a "character inventory" group activity that was done and then presented to the class...
I gave a study guide/list of questions for the chapters you were to read (thru 45)...we went over them briefly....be sure you are "in the know" about these questions!!!
Your assignment for next time is to read THROUGH chapter 50....
