We're all in different spots, but all hours were involved with Julie, Audrey, and AP Frank in some fashion.
1: After vocab continued forward, we finished up looking at how Julie is presented in the text and the various strategies that create the perception of the Superstar. Then, you had reading time, in which each of you had one Overachiever passage to close read (Marie, you will close read Audrey's passage) and then met with your other Audreys and Franks to discuss the organization and strategies. Tomorrow, you will be meeting one-on-one with another Overachiever, so make sure you have all your notes ready to go.
3: After our vocab experts today, we looked at Julie's passage, noting the presentation of our protagonist via perception, reality, anecdotes of various people, first person journal entry, and author's ethos. In addition, many of you piped in with notes of diction, syntax, and tone shifts, enumeration, juxtaposition, paradox, and other elements creating her classification. At the end of the hour, you had time to close read one of the remaining two Overachievers, prepping for tomorrow's class. Olivia, you will be in charge of Audrey's passage; Kayla, you will be working with AP Frank.
5: Speaking of overachievers, what an impressive class, group, and partner discussion today. While there was some summary involved, it was very intermittent as you jumped on how Audrey and AP Frank are classified and what strategies (time chronology, syntax, diction, allusions, so much more) filter through each of these perspectives. Whatever you noted, you are now working in a rhetorical analysis mode and, hopefully, it is becoming much easier for you! At the end of the hour, you received the verbal rhetorical analysis assignment, which we will be finishing up tomorrow and giving you preparation time. As of 3 p.m. today, the plan will be as follows: Thursday will be vocab, group forming, passage selecting, prep time; Friday will be vocab review, presentation order, prep time; Monday will be dedicated to presentations; Tuesday will be any remaining presentations, Vocab Quiz 2; Thursday will be the diagnostic timed prompt. Hoping that will remain the plan - now I just need to see how first and third hour will play out.
