On Wednesday March 25th, we will be going to the library for the last time as a class. Students should be just about finished with their 15 index cards. Students' outlines will also be due on Wednesday. The outline is a 25 point quiz grade. It's the first writing grade for Trimester 3. Please try to find time to take a trip to your local library. This could earn students up to 5 extra points on their research paper.
Poetry Presentation...students need to have selected their poem to be memorized by Wednesday March 25th. Students will randomly be assigned one day to recite their poem to the class. (3/30, 4/1, 4/2) Poems must be a minimum of 10 lines. Students will be graded on how well you can hear their voice, how varied is their pacing, how effective is their tone, voice, and gestures, how well did they memorize the poem, and how well did they interpret the poems meaning. Basically, if the students speak in a good voice and don't rush through the poem, they will do fine.
