ELA 10: May 20 Review / discuss poetry analysis from Thursday…

  1. Students were given back their poetry analysis completed independently on Thursday. I looked them over to gauge how each person had done on their own, whether less complete with more thorough responses or less thorough but more answers finished. Some struggle with poetry and analyzing it so I am hoping to see improvement from some.
  2. Students were also given back their Of Mice and Men literary essays. I explained that they will be getting Mini reports soon to see what their mark is currently. There will also be a list of missing assignments posted along with their new replacement assignments. (They have been continually reminded that if I have already corrected and returned a certain assignment, I will no longer accept the late assignment, but will instead give them a new assignment (similar assignment / new topic) for them to restart. This way, the students who have completed the work on time are rewarded with knowing others aren’t given extra time to do the same work and, hopefully, everyone is motivated to complete their work on time, rather than have to redo it!
  3. We re-read the two poems they analyzed independently on Thursday and discussed the questions. The class (a good majority of them) were quite unsettled today, which was frustrating. I’m sure they’ll be back on track and more focused tomorrow.
