Membean Vocabulary Drills: 15 minutes
After students finished their vocabulary drills, they continued reading in Mary Pope Osborne's Tales from the Odyssey. Students left the sticky note with their name on it on the page where they finish reading for the period.
While students read, Mr. Stone checked for the completion of the cover of their commonplace book which they were to complete for homework.
Homework: Make an "Examples of Anecdotes" page for your commonplace book. Your page should include the Anecdote of a Sagacious Dog which we read in class last quarter and another anecdote of your choosing. Reader's Digest 100-Word Stories is a great source for examples of anecdotes.
Be sure the page you create for your commonplace book includes:
the title "Examples of Anecdotes"
the text of the "Anecdote of a Sagacious Dog"
the text of an additional anecdote you choose
You may handwrite, type, print-cut-and-paste, or copy-paste-and-print, whatever works best for you.
Just be sure to write the source of your anecdote underneath it. The "Anecdote of a Sagacious Dog" comes from Sarah Lockwood's Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools.
If you use an anecdote from the Reader's Digest website, just write "Reader's Digest" under the anecdote you provide.
Note: Do NOT use the same additional examples as Mr. Stone used.
