At the beginning of class today, everyone read from their free choice
books for fifteen minutes. After the reading, everybody recorded the
pages that they read today and in any other books that they have been
reading outside of class.
We then returned to our work with the short story "Harrison Bergeron." Everyone worked with their partner to complete the story review sheet and the reading format review sheet. After everyone had a chance to complete these, we discussed students' responses to the reading format for "Harrison Bergeron" (this time it was the partner read). Our discussion focused on strengths of partner reads and what can make the format challenging. From this we talked about when the partner read would be best used in a class.
Homework:
If you did not do so in class, finish reading "Harrison Bergeron."
Read for at least two hours for this reading section (11/01 - 11/12) from your free choice book.
