American Lit--Tuesday, October 27

Objective: What does it mean to be an individual?

1- Students read for 10 minutes
2- We spent a few minutes going over the Transcendental Portfolio

3- We completed a Mix and Mingle--students took quotes from the essay "Self-Reliance" and discussed/mingle-talked about their quotes with each other. As they did so, they were able to better understand what the main idea is.

4- Next, students wrote in their journal, predicting WHAT they think the essay "Self-Reliance" will be about.

5- Students read the essay with the teacher!!! We discussed and pulled out the main idea.

6- We watched the following video How to Be Alone and made connections to Self-Reliance.

Homework: Begin working on Transcendental Portfolio :) Due on Thursday, November 12th
