Prepping for the Week: September 30, 2019

Focus: How do we prepare for this week?

Note: TODAY is the last day to submit any work from the last 6 weeks for credit.

1. Warming up with three good things and my expectations for Tuesday and Wednesday

2. Practicing speech attention grabbers

3. Reviewing the sample book club syllabus and reading your book club novels

HW:
1. For WEDNESDAY: 

• Assigned book club reading (you'll be doing an initial thought log that day, so make sure you're at least 30 pages into the reading). 

• Bring your book to class.

2. For THURSDAY: Assigned book club reading and syllabus-making. First book club meeting!

3. For FRIDAY: 

• Deliver your one-minute speech on your independent reading book. Please note that if you are absent on Friday, you will need to deliver your one-minute speech to the whole class on Monday

• You will also submit your notebook on Friday for Notebook Check #2.  I will be looking largely at what you've done with "Self-Reliance" and with "Walden."
