Membean Vocabulary Drills: 10 minutes

Vocabulary Test:  Students took their first individualized test on Membean.  They will be given a retake opportunity on their first test.  The higher of the two scores will be taken.

Quiz:  "The Five Orange Pips"

Journaling:  Students need to complete a journal entry for each of the four stories we've read so far for which they have not already done an entry.

Reader-Response Journal Options:

--Write a mini review (your opinion about whether others would enjoy reading the story and why)

--sketch a scene or a character from the story

--write an alternate scene/ending to the story

--make a list of your favorite quotes from the story and explain why they are meaningful to you

--create a collage of a scen or character from the story

--select five words from the story that are new to you and write out each word and its definition


Remember that each entry should be headed with the title of the story and its author's name.  A minimum of one panel should be completed for each story.

The class has already completed journal entries for Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" and Saki's "The Interlopers."
