1. Journal
Why do you think authors sometimes tell stories out of order?
*1st Period: You need to finish reading the story before you work on today's task. Mr. Obermeyer will read with you, starting from 12:46 at the recording.
Keep asking those amazing questions. You're so smart!!!
Today is our second read of "A Rose for Emily," a text that is automatically broken up into five sections by the author. Your job will be to search for the following with your table group:
- Sentence that was meaningful to you, that captures a core idea of the text
- Phrase that moved, engaged, or provoked you
- Word that captured your attention or struck you as powerful
We will do this similarly to the way we have done it before; there are five sections of the text and your job is to rotate tables, collecting information at each station.
- You will have 5-7 minutes at each table.
- This means you should be reading/skimming with your partners, truly looking for meaningful parts of the text
- Don't move ahead; let your classmates focus since this text is so challenging.
3. SPW Presentation
There is another slide presentation for you to complete with your table group. This time it's a little shorter, but you're going to need more DETAIL. The instructions are on each slide for you. This is a challenging text so take your time and be thoughtful.
- 1 Person at your table download the slide template HERE
- Share it with the other members of your table
- Don't forget to share your slides with me! (cdaniel@sandi.net)
