Objective: Plan book group reading assignments/ introduce unit assignments
Here's what we did in class today:
1- Each student went to the writing lab (608) and checked out a copy of either Pride and Prejudice or Wuthering Heights.
2- Students returned to class and met in their book groups. Each group mapped out a reading schedule, allowing them to finish the book by February 1st.
3- As a class, we went over the reading journal--an assignment each student must do while reading the novel. See link below for handout.

4- As a class, we went over the writing prompt for the literary analysis each student will write upon completion of the novel. To see the assignment (due February 7) see link below.

5- Students read the last 40 minutes of class to get a head start on their homework.
Homework: Begin reading novel (at least 25 pages) and write a one page double space paper describing your initial reaction of the characters. Think of it as a "first impression" response. Do not simply summarize the characters, but discuss, speculate, write about your impression of them based on the first few chapters.
