Reading and note-taking homework is due -- a bit of time was given for groups to collaborate on themes and to check in with each other and/or me on any content questions or advice on the work process. The new homework to be due next Friday is pp.34-63. Student then chose to do a Claim & Evidence work for a score on either essay #1 or #2 in the red book -- to be worked on in class today and in class on Tuesday. If you were absent, see me to set up some time to make up the work time you missed today. As this is a scored assessment, it has to be done individually and in my room. ; ) (We will LATER do a Socratic discussion over these essays, also, so that all students will eventually end up with all of the information from both of them.)
