It's October and we're already in our sixth week of school! Please make sure you've made up any older quizzes you missed because I'll be passing back work from September (except last week's quiz).
Here's what's planned for the week:
MONDAY: Journal warm-up. SOAPS notes: a tool for analyzing passages. Turn in hard copy of rough draft. Discuss Chapter 10 in class. Read Chapter 11 and 12 in class and go through repetition and imagery found in those short chapters. Begin reading Chapter 13 in class.
Due: Read the rest of Chapter 10 in Grapes of Wrath. Who would you cast
(known actors) for the different Joad characters based on their
descriptions in the book? Have this in mind as you read - soon the class
will submit and vote on nominations.
Please bring a hard copy of the rough draft of your narrative for Monday.
Homework: Read first 15 pages of Chapter 13 of The Grapes of Wrath for Wednesday.
WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up. Current event/current issue day. Topic: surveillance cameras at school. Read and analyze two articles on the subject. Stakeholder groups and debate. Vote.

Homework: Please read the rest of Chapter 13 of The Grapes of Wrath for Friday.
FRIDAY: Journal warm-up. Quiz covering vocabulary and Grapes reading for the week. Close reading and analysis of two opposing articles about Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest, SOAPS analysis. How does each make their argument using rhetorical devices? Class votes: which is the better argument? Do you think Kaepernick's method of protest is justified?
Due: Please read the rest of Chapter 13 of The Grapes of Wrath.
Homework: Done in class today. Enjoy!
