We picked our lit circle books today and divvied out the pages and lit circle roles. The first discussion day is on November 2 (this next Wednesday). Make sure that you get a packet from me. I won't post it here.
Today we turned in our final projects on why fantasy matters and finished the book shares on the series projects. To end class, we discussed the impact of the Harry Potter on the literary world and the world in general. Finally, we turned in our hall passes.
Today we took quiz 7 and we discussed wizard and witch fantasy literature. I also presented your final project for this term, which is a project that proves why fantasy matters. See the project description below.
Today we took quiz 6 of Throne of Glass and we discussed the influence of JRR Tolkein on Fantasy. We read an essay and annotated it on Tolkein and the Gift of Mortality.
Today we took quiz 5 of Throne of Glass and discussed the golden age of fantasy. We also watched a youtube clip (and did a writer's notebook on) why fantasy matters with a panel of authors. It is posted below. Today we took Quiz #4 of Throne of Glass and I explained the final writing assignment for this term: Why Fantasy Matters. We turned in our Fellowship of Heroes Assignments and went to the computer lab to research TV Tropes. The Assignment is attached.
Today we took Throne of Glass Quiz #3 and did a writer's notebook about our favorite heroes of all time. We discussed in tables who those heroes would be and then drew our fellowship of heroes on a separate sheet of paper. Attached is the assignment.
