Today our poetry analsis was due for the poem/song we picked out on our own. We shared our analysis with our group and then the group scored how well we did. We looked briefly at the scoring guide and discussed how we should work on improving over the course of the quarter. The analysis and scoring guide should have been turned in to Mrs. Gilbert to grade.
Then we began investigating the Autobiography of Malcolm X. We read some quotes by him on the walls and Mrs. Gilbert read part of the first chapter aloud to us. We discussed what the exposition was revealing about Malcolm and speculated as to what impact these details will have on his life.
Then we had free-writing time to explore what exposition we would give on our own lives.
HOMEWORK: Don't forget to do your interview with some over 50 on Malcolm X. It's due tomorrow.
