Friday, Sept. 18 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Remember, you need a printed out/paper copy of your complete myth
*Post-Modern and Contemporary Era
*Small Group Discussion: I’ll check the close read and answers from yesterday
*Create list of similarities to other myths we read, how does it show Nat Am myth characteristics?
*Discuss other notes
*Discuss metaphor/metaphors
*Discuss things you are confused about: Work together to answer ALL questions or come up with ideas to help you understand the story.
*Come to a group consensus: What is the author’s purpose of this story? What is the author’s attitude towards Thomas Builds-the-Fire? Towards the gov’t/BIA?
*Your group needs to post as a comment to the most recent post on my blog: your list of characteristics, your answers to the last three questions, and at least three important things you talked about
*Questions on the story: Completed on own, blank sheet of paper, turn in when done (to the folder in the BLUE crate)
*Writer’s Workshop: color coding your myth (if you finish in time, otherwise, color code on Tuesday)
*You need six different colors
*Select a color to represent each sense and underline where in your story you have the different sensory images
*The sixth color should represent the Native American myth characteristics and underline where you have those
*Once you have done this, KEEP IT for me to check, and then make your draft better and type it if it isn’t (I will be reading through and commenting on your draft on Sunday/Monday night, so make sure it is shared with me)

*Read your book: remember, you will be doing a one pager, so if you want to mark interesting ideas, quotes, themes, etc, that would be a good idea.

*****If your draft isn't typed up and/or shared with me, please get that done by Sunday night!
