Tuesday October 16, 2012

Today in class we did the following things:

  • SSR
  • Song Parodies
  • LC Discussions
  • Share-out
As usual, we started the class off by doing 20 minutes of SSR. We then transferred to the subject of Song Parodies. Mrs. Ortega first played the song "I Want it that Way", by the Backstreet Boys. Then she played the parody of the song, "E-bay". Mrs. Ortega introduced us to song parodies because at the end of literature circle, everyone will be doing a final assessment, and the song parody can be one form of the final assessment. If your group would like to do something that Ortega hasn't talked about, then you can  talk to her to see if she agrees with the idea presented. If you are going to be doing the song parody, however, you have to follow the rhyme scheme of the song that you are making fun of. For more guidelines, please look at the handout that Ortega passed out during class (A#25 Song Parody Info.) Next, we discussed with our lit. circle groups about our books, and the two v for vendetta groups shared out what was happening in their books so far. Another group that got to share-out was the Persepolis group.

Reminders:
LC Discussion 7 due Thursday
Print out essay you turned in for writing workshop, and also print out the Peermark review someone did for your essay. Bring these two documents tomorrow (Wednesday).
