Big Project Week. Thursday and Friday, we get to see To Be or Not Be. This is exciting stuff.
Monday and Tuesday, we'll be following up with "The Century Quilt" on demand by examining some anchor papers and comparing them to our own writing and thinking. We'll be doing a tremendous amount of mark up on the anchor packets and busting out serious degrees of Post It notes.
From there we will conduct a close reading of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" right in class. We'll be using our SCOUT/NWW/RBT triple lens. And this will lead us to our next writing product (not the synthesis essay yet!).
We also have a collaboration with other seniors not from around these parts that is about to happen. It involves redefining senioritis. We'll look at this more closely on Wednesday and Thursday.
Here's the blog prompt due NEXT FRIDAY. March 6. Use words/video/audio to define your now more accurately than "senioritis." We'll be connecting with seniors in a HS in Northern Illinois around this very idea -- and perhaps elsewhere as well. Here's an example of how one student tackled it.
HOMEWORK.

Req'd Post: From A to To Be. Stack that blog full of images and explanation of your process. Show how you got there.
