Honors English 12 (September 4, 2007)

In Class:

WE reviewed expectations for group participation and group work...

WE divided ourselves into four groups for a reciprocal teaching exercise.

Each group was assigned two segments of the introductory essay to outline and INFORMALLY present to the class on Wodensday for 15 pts.

You were expected to have read and analyzed pages two through sixteen in your text (The Social and Literary History in light of the Anglo-Saxons) before coming to class today. If you did not read the text (2-16), then you must read the material before tomorrow (Wodensday).

The rubric and assignment specifications can be found in the make-up folder.

There will be a 10 pt. quiz on this material tomorrow (September 5, 2007).
