Presentations and Warriors

Honors: Took a quick quiz over your Warriors reading and followed that up with a 1-2 page, ten minute reflection over the book.  We'll be revisiting that in the near future.

Our main focus the rest of class, tonight and tomorrow was and should be the presentations.  Make sure you hold up your end of the presentation so the group can perform well tomorrow.

I've included a look at the rubric for you here.  You will be assessing your peers.  No I haven't worked out all the details yet, but the rubric should give you an idea.

You put these together quickly, so be sure to spend tonight doing what you need to to polish, sharpen, hone and perfect the material.

Standard: You responded to five prompts in your notebooks today before moving into Fish Bowl Discussion Groups.  You touched on several ideas during the 5-10 minute conversations, but I would still like to see more insight and maybe a couple people going off script to show some creativity and depth.  Keep open minds.  Keep thinking.

Remember you get points for

Citing evidence from the text (quotes or specific information)
Successfully countering another person's idea
Offering a question that generates new conversation
An amazing POW! statement

Tonight you should finish the book Warriors Don't Cry.  Lots to write about.  Lots to talk about.  Lots to think about.
