October 19

IRT: ~20 minutes
WNB:

I reminded students to be sure their Currently Reading pages are up to date in their notebooks. Here's an example. 

Title, author, # pages total, genre, date started, date finished/abandoned (include pages read when abandoned), 2 sentence reflection.
We discussed how to use transitions effectively to connect ideas between paragraphs. These notes are available on Classroom.

We finished up our introduction to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and read Act I, Scene 1, and the beginning of Act III, Scene 1. We will continue reading on Monday because we're writing an essay in class tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning is the last opportunity for students to retake the literary terms test if they scored below a 70%. 

Also tomorrow, we will write a persuasive essay in class. Students will be allowed to use their notes.
