Watch the video and read the nonfiction book Mummies from National Geographic.  It is available through getepic.com, and our class code is 

vlw7754.

After you watch the video, read for 30 minutes.  As you read, keep an eye out for symbols and notice how they impact the author's message or theme.  In your notebook, write down the most important theme of your novel.  Use evidence from the text to support your theme.

Complete all 5 steps of the lesson.  Yes, that includes the writing question!

A motif is a recurring idea in a work of literature.  Some examples are love, friendship, betrayal, war, and hope, but there are many more.  It has to appear more than once and be important to be a motif.


Today our text is a music video that tells a story.  As you watch, look out for motifs.  Jot down three or four that seem important and explain why you believe they matter in this text.

Read carefully and remember to preview the vocabulary!  Do all five sections, and remember, this counts as a quiz grade!

Remember to log in with Clever!  In Achieve, complete the prereading poll, preview the vocabulary, read the article, answer the multiple-choice questions, and write your answer to the thought question.

After watching the video, answer 1 or 2 of the questions from the attached handout in your notebook.  Use your book to find support for your answers; include details and page numbers.  Expect a high level of thinking and work from yourself!

Learning Target: Today I am learning to notice parts of characters that are less likeable.

Success Criteria: I can identify a character’s less likeable sides.


Please watch the video and think about the main characters we've encountered so far.  Will and Harry both have positive and negative character traits.  After watching the video and looking at the handouts, think about the main character of the book or short story you are reading now.  Come up with 2-3 positive and 2-3 negative traits for your main character and jot them in your notebook.  Make sure you have evidence for each trait.  If you complete that AND draw a picture of your character, I'll give you extra credit;-)  As always, remember to put the date (9/8/21) by your work, so I'll know how to give you credit. 


There is nothing to submit for this assignment; I'll grade notebooks when we're back.


Enjoy your reading!

After watching the video, read for 30 minutes or more.  Jot your most interesting ideas (not your first or most obvious ideas) about your character in your notebook.  Remember to include the date (9/10/21) and the name of your character as well as the title and author.


I have added some new short stories in case you're running out of reading material;.


Enjoy!

After watching the video, read for 30 minutes and create a notebook entry about your character.  Include the character's name, the author and title of the novel or short story, and today's date (9/9/21).  Then list the 1 or 2 most important traits that belong to your character and explain why.  Remember, if you are not near the end, you should make a prediction about which trait is the most important and explain why.

Please watch the video first. Even though we will not be able to work with partners today, Mrs. Hodge still shares some valuable information.  Then, use your novel or a short story provided under the topic "Short Stories" to complete the attached assignment.  Good luck!
