Hello Awesome Sophomore!
This is an important week - culminating in our Unit test this Friday. Next week will be dedicated to writing our final "for publication" pieces. You should be working on these all the time.
Monday - We will read, scaffold, annotate, and rhetorically deconstruct Luis Rodriguez's memoir excerpt from Always Running. This is our mentor text for the week. Having it read and annotated prior to class will be in your benefit. Expect a good day with lots of insight. You should be taking notes. You will also receive a graphic organizer to assist you. Be ready to contribute and discuss.
Tuesday - Independent Reading (15 minutes) - Have your book.
RRG group day. You will have the task of writing analysis for Always Running based on your Monday discussion and you HW to complete the graphic organizer/notes. Just like last week - you will have time to discuss and navigate the piece as a group. There should be plenty of conversation and explanation. Remember - THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BEING TESTED ON THIS FRIDAY. Take advantage of the time to work in RRG and do this together.
