Ty's First Blog

Agenda:
1. Poem
2. Reader's Theater (Evidence gathering)

Homework:
1. Finish 1984
2. Type/ Read out loud & print R.A.

Fourty-two scholars walk into the classroom to take their seat and begin reciting the three poems "We Wear the Mask", "We Real Cool", and "If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking." Reciting the last poem is always the one where the students are out of sync, but perseverance will fix that. We then start editing the blog written by Sanam and there isn't much of it. Sanam, without hesitating, picks her favorite person in the world to write the next blog for the class.

Ms. Witham then discusses really quickly what we will be doing for the rest of the day. That involves rehearsing our "Readers Theater" and the rest of our agenda. When she is done saying what she had to say, the class readied themselves for their next assignment. Ms. Witham is ready to judge the students on their work. The room is stagnant and the audience is ready for "Readers Theater."  One by one the groups are called up to show Ms. Witham and themselves how competent they are with their work. Each group reads a passage from the book 1984 and gives a reason why that passage is important. Unfortunately we run out of time and everyone packs up for the last period of the day.
