Diction, Tone & Malcolm X's family

Today we started with a worksheet that connect our reading of Malcolm X with the ideas of details/exposition we studied yesterday. After some discussion, we turned it in.

Then we added diction and tone to our literary cheatsheets. We read a couple more partner interviews and noted the diction and tone in them, and then read an "I am from" poem and did the same.

We then had 15 minutes of writing time. Students are reminded to keep all of their daily writings together for credit later on.

Finally we reviewed the reading schedule (Chapter 2 for tonight, pages 30-36 and 39-44) for tomorrow and what will be on the quiz tomorrow (names, procedures, rules, and some of the literary/reading stuff we've covered)
