Tuesday, Jan. 3 Agenda

•Bell Ringer: Read 19-21

•Finish reading 20-26

•Writing based on page 20 quotes: Explain what, in detail, these quotes mean:

•“They were afraid of dying but they were even more afraid to show it” (O’Brien 20).

•“They used a hard vocabulary to contain the terrible softness” (O’Brien 20).

•“It wasn’t cruelty, just stage presence. They were actors” (O’Brien 20).

•“They carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die…the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight” (O’Brien 21).

•Tangible –can be felt, touched

•In = not

•When done, read to page 26, then bring your explanations and list of things carried to me.

•Then read your own book until we move on.  

•Book Completion Sheet Explanation

•Independently Read “Love” and “Spin” (the questions to mark evidence about are on Schoology)

•While reading, mark evidence in the book to help you answer questions as well as keep track of important ideas or events, and mark areas of confusion (where you have questions)

•Check notes on “Love” and “Spin”: when you are done, bring them to me (your book filled with post-its)

•If you finished the two stories, read your independent book or fill out the book completion sheet (grab one from the last folder in the crate, ask questions if you have any).
