PLEASE BE ADVISED:
You will be administered a "QUIZ" for Chapters 7, 8, & 9 on WEDNESDAY, 27 November! (THIRTY short answer questions-same as previous quizzes-simply select any TWENTY and answer accordingly-you will NOT be given a sheet containing the answers.) Maximum Allocated Time: TWENTY Minutes.
Engage in a "close reading" of these chapters. Some of you have NOT been reading the chapters-I have been finding downloads with chapter summaries with the analysis left behind in the classroom. These will NOT help you on your upcoming quiz.

Schedule for Week of 18 November:
Monday, 18 November: QUIZ on Chapter 6 (Engage in a "Close Reading" AND review the power-point for this chapter) Write-out THREE "thought-provoking" questions in response to what you read that we can use to guide our class discussion. Make sure that you include page numbers for the text that you used to generate your questions. Avoid questions that would elicit a "YES" or "NO" response. Please make-up TWO copies of this assignment-one copy you will hand to me as you enter the classroom; the other copy you will keep at your desk. Those students dominating the discussions MUST "cease and desist" to permit others a chance to "engage"and contribute, perhaps for the first time this semester. Everyone should review the class participation rubric!
Wednesday, 20 November: QUIZ on Chapter 7 (Follow the same procedures as indicated above.)
Thursday, 21 November: QUIZ: SAT Vocabulary List 9. We will engage in a "close reading" of Chapter 8 as a class.
