English 9, Tues. May 17

We added the next two words to our list: sternness and blustering.
We read our USSR books for 15 minutes. You should be starting your second book now as we are past the half way mark.

Next, we did a practice quiz on words 41 to 54, petty to blustering.

Finally, we read three exciting chapters in class today--14, 15, and 16! We post-it noted key changes in Farley's attitude toward the wolves and the new facts that he's learning about the wolves.

WED: TEST ON CHAPTERS 1-16. FOCUS ON THE MYTHS AND TRUTHS ABOUT WOLVES.

I WOULD CREATE A CHART OF QUOTES FROM THE ONES I'VE POST-IT NOTES THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTERS SO I'M WELL PREPARED FOR THE TEST. YOU MAY USE YOUR NOVELS AND YOUR JOURNALS AND YOUR NOTEBOOKS DURING THE TEST BUT YOU ALSO MUST WATCH YOUR TIME. YOU WON'T HAVE TIME TO SEARCH FOR FACTS. HAVE THEM READY TO GO.

Also, make sure you have read and understood the chapters and that your Mowat Journal is up to date. With an updated journal, you can quickly recall the events of the novel. I'll be asking your to discuss what happens. Make sure you are aware of the key events, people, animals, problems taking place in the story.
