English 9, Friday, May 13

The blog was down yesterday, sorry for the inconvenience.

Today: You performed your lovely poems. Well done. The snacks were wonderful, too. Thanks to all.

Farley Mowat: Be sure that you have read to the end of chapter 10 and that you continue to post-it note key facts about wolves and note how Farley's attitude toward wolves is beginning to change.

You should have your front and back covers completed and at least one unique feature (map, comic strip, drawings, recipes, science experiements, diagrams etc) inside the journal. We've written entries on chapters 1-4, 5 and 6, and 8-10.

The last entry must focus on how Farley Mowat is affected by his time observing the wolves. Be sure to include in your discussion several of the topics below:
  • where he has moved
  • what he has observed
  • why he has to change his attitude toward the wolves
  • what he learns from Mike and/or Ootek
  • what he learns from the wolves
  • how he adapts
  • what a typical day is like
  • what he misses from the city
You may read ahead. We'll be finishing the novel next week. Work on your journal as needed. Re-read the journal criteria so that you are positive you are meeting all of them.

Have a great weekend.

USSR: We're almost half way through May so you shouuld be finished at least one book by now and half way through book number two. Never Cry Wolf may count as one book.
