Objective: Understand how social expectations affect our behavior--And begin reading the novel "Speak"
Here's what we did in class today:
1- Reviewed the social contract and its importance in our classroom.
2- Social expectations: Salem vs. High School. Even though they are different, each "society" has expectations that members are required to follow or they will be cast out, shunned, ostracized, rejected, etc.
3- Went to the computer lab (608) and checked out the novel "Speak." Each student will check out their own book and be responsible for it over the course of the unit. If you lose the novel, you will have to pay for it.
4- Began reading "Speak" as a class. Discussed the first few chapters.
Homework: Read to page 22 and complete 5 sticky notes. Your sticky notes will be ways in which you relate/connect to what is happening in the novel. There will be a quiz after the first 20 minutes of reading on Friday and I will also check for your sticky notes.
