Finish reading chapter 5, we finish 1984 tomorrow.
Journals are due Friday I said, but we have no school Friday so let's go with Tuesday (as Monday is the test).
Last journal entry is a reflection on the novel as a whole. Please do not summarize it.
                                                                   ~
Due Monday: Write a response to today's Field trip. It must not be an essay. It is not something like "my favorite writer was _______ because_____". Instead, I want you to take what you saw and heard and present something that reflects your mind state or perception of the trip. It can be on a writer him/herself, on a poem/story you heard, the idea of a Writer's Festival, the moderator, or whatever resonated with you.
You could do a poem, a narrative, a song, a word collage or anything else in written form. Be creative.
Bottom line: You need to hand in something that shows me you were present and engaged on today's field trip.
Post a question on the blog if you are still unclear.
