Tuesday, January 30th


Good morning! Here are our plans for today:
  • Reading and Notes: We'll read, discuss, and take notes on Ch. 4-5 of Animal Farm. We'll focus on the growing evidence that some of the characters are being deceitful, we'll analyze the developing power structure, and we'll take care to think about which characters symbolize which historical figures from the Russian Revolution. 
  • We'll revisit expectations for your final drafts (MLA, title, edited and revised, etc.) and for your note cards (bulleted list for jogging memory and keeping your place in the speech -- can have one-two lines (maximum) quoted if it helps. 
  • Finally, you'll have WORK TIME for the following:
    • Vocabulary Review Exercise: Choose three English words from List Three and write excellent sentences that use them correctly. Write this on a separate piece of paper because you must turn it in today. 
    • Speech final draft finished and printed. (You'll turn this in on Monday when you give your speech.)
    • Note card written and being used for practice. (You will also turn this in on Monday when you give your speech.)
