Next, you will watch a MiniBio on Mark Twain, which can be found here (pay special attention to the claim that Twain was the first person to capture “the vernacular” and put it in American writing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuQMBWjmlHk When the bio video is over, please grab a copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the white crate by the door, and quietly read Chapters 1-3. We only have enough books for a class set right now, so please return them at the end of the period. Take notes as you read relating to Huck as a narrator and the portrayal of Jim. If you are unable to finish reading the three chapters in class, please access the full-audio with read-along text on the Huck Finn sub menu: http://www.loudlit.org/audio/hfinn/pages/01_01_hfinn.htm Mrs. Hopkins is absent today.

Here is a link to the handy online timer Mrs. Hopkins uses: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/ After writing time is over, please quickly grab chromebooks, and get out your handwritten responses to the three questions you were asked to address on Friday (you needed a two-chunk response to each):
Quickly conference with a partner for five to ten minutes. Share your answers, discuss your different perspectives, and see how your responses may be able to be improved. Now, turn your handwritten responses into a six-chunk quick-essay on censorship. If you did your homework over the weekend, you should only need to write an introduction (plus a rockin’ thesis statement), polish up the chunks you already wrote (please have a separate paragraph for each question), and a conclusion. Use your class time today to write this essay, and submit online by 11:59pm. Focus on utilizing transitions between ideas and paragraphs, as well as using effective contextual lead-ins for your CDs. |
