Sorry for the delay.  Lit circle role sheet number 3 is due tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone who handed in their first task on time:) Happy Halloween.

 Today we worked on Lit Circle  #2.  WE discussed and took notes on what a good discussion looks like and self evaluated how we did in our discussion groups. Students then had a choice to either work on their next Lit Circle Role sheet, complete Task 1, which is due tomorrow, or continue to read their novel. We will be finishing up the novels next week.

 Today we worked on looking at graphic novel shots and finding examples in our novel. Students were then given task 1 to complete for Friday. They will have time on Thursday to work on it. Lit circle sheet #2 is due on Thursday. We will have our second lit circle discussion on Thursday. Today's handouts have now been uploaded to the graphic novel folder under handouts.

 Today we looked at why it is important to consider  cause and consequence when we study history.

We also had our first lit circle meeting today. Remember you need to have your lit circle role sheet completed prior to joining your group for discussion.

Next lit circle meeting is on Thursday, Oct . 28.

 Yesterday we reviewed why it is important to look at the historical significance when we study history. We also looked at continuity and change and why it is important to always think about that. Then came the fun part. Graphic novels were assigned, we met our lit circle group members and decided on what role sheet we will be responsible for on Monday. 

Homework: If you did not finish your role sheet in class, please have it finished for Monday.

 Today we viewed a ppt about parts of a graphic novel. Please complete the ppt handout for Thursday, Oct. 21. I will be collecting them at the beginning of class. We selected our preferences for which novel we would like to read.  

If you did not hand in your narrative please print it and submit tomorrow.

 Printed copy or handwritten good copy of narrative is due on Mon. Oct 18. It will be handed in at the beginning of class. If you did not submit it on Friday, you need to print your own copy to hand in.
