Today we did DOL 3 and read "The Body Ritual among the Nacirema." We had a class discussion afterward and turned in the accompanying handout. Also, we discussed ethnocentrism and how it applies to the literature and people we will study this year.

Today we did DOL 2 and I showed the class an example Vista Project. Make sure that you email me for the example slideshow as notes on that slideshow is Writer's Notebook #4. We also had our first book check of the year. Start bringing your book to class.
Today we did our first DOL and I passed out Vista Projects packets. The signup sheet is available for this term next to the door. We discussed Vista Projects and then proposed the book that you wanted to read for first term. Reminder: Make sure that you've never read the book and that it is a book that is NOT on the "Do not read" list. If you are in honors, you either need to read the Battle of the Books book for this term or a classic novel from the class list.
The question is not, "What did we do today?" but, "What didn't we do today?" Here's a rundown of everything we did: I passed out hall passes and battle of the books booklets. We did a writer's notebook answering the question, "What stereotypes are there about Americans?" We took the disclosure document quiz and I did a book talk about some books that you might want to read for your first term book report. We turned in the writer's notebooks and our disclosure documents and then went down and took pictures.
Welcome back! Hope your summer was amazing! Today we did some name games and a get-to-know you activity and I passed out the disclosure document. You'll want to read it and be ready for the quiz next time. Can't wait to get the year started!
