Don't forget that your Independent Reading Projects for Quarter 2 are due the Thursday after break! Remember, this quarter, your responses need to be typed! They should be neat and organized. One of the two books you read should be non-fiction. The second book you read is a book of your choice. Here are the Tic-Tac-Toe cards if you have misplaced yours. Have a safe and relaxing winter break! See you in 2017!Throughout the quarter, you need to complete a minimum of three activities. You can only do two activities per book (so you should be reading more than one book a quarter...or at least started your second book during the quarter). This first quarter, both of these books can be your choice. Feel free to read whatever you want, and enjoy it! You do not have to complete the book to do these activities. You can complete them as you go...but you should be reading! This is not an excuse to not be reading outside of class! Reading is good! Have fun with this, and challenge yourself to be creative with these activities. First quarter Independent Reading Projects are due October 14After our independent reading project discussion, we have time to work. We can either: a. finish our "Create your own Greek God" assignment b. finish your plot diagram from your myth yesterday Then, if there is time, we are going to talk about some mythological monsters. See the handout below about what monsters we are going to talk about! Then, we are going to jump back to our myth busting. Yesterday, we mapped out the plot diagram for each of our myths. Today, we are going to talk about the moral and the themes of our myths. When you present your myth to your team, you need to give them a clear analysis of this myth. So, describing the plot isn't enough. What are we supposed to learn? What is the take-away from this story? Why is it still told? You need to explain to us all about the moral of your myth.
