AICE GP-Today all students had the opportnity to hole punch their 5×8 cards for the Lit Analysis Study, as well as some time to continue labeling the Name/Definition/Example Set up (See Lit Card Link Above).
HOD Vocabulary-Students that had completed the 1st 3-pages of the Vocab had the 3rd page stamped, this was a 1.2 way check in to see if students are completing AS THEY ARE READING, this should not be done as an afterthought. Vocab will be on the Part 1 Quiz on Friday, actual Packet Collection will be Tuesday next week (weather permitting).
Discussion of pre-concieved notions that we may have as to some of the themes in the novel (2A Notes above) as well as I read through the 1st few pages of the novel giving notes as I went.
