2. Book Check Out
If you took a book home yesterday please fill out the check out form on the blog to the right.
3. Survey the Text
- Surveying the text is a habit we'll get into this year.
- I'll walk you through the process the first time. You need to consider questions like:
- Who is the author? Where are they from? What other pieces have they written?
- When was it published? What was happening in the world at that time?
- What source was it published in? What kind of audience reads this publication?
- What proper nouns are included in this text? What might this show about the main topic?
5. Read the Text

- There are questions posted in Google Classroom called "Navigating the Waters: A Personal Prologue"

5. Exit Slips
- I'm going to pass out a post it note to each person.
- I'm asking you to write one question you have about this class and place it on the check in board next to the laptop cart.
- Green means you feel good about English class
- Yellow means you're feeling somewhat positive, somewhat uneasy about English class
- Red means you have lots of questions about English class
