Socratic Discussion

Have you ever been in one? You will on Thursday, 7 October when we examine Chapter 6. Naturally, I expect everyone to read this chapter prior to this day (surprise quiz?). This learning activity requires everyone to "participate" in a variety of ways-no excuses! SEE BELOW!

Of Mice and Men Homework Assignment

For Monday, 4 October-read Chapter 5 in preparation for a Cooperative Learning Activity. After the QUIZ, you will report to your group you were assigned to for the Chapter 2 activity. At that time, I will distribute your folder containing the Chapter 2 graded responses. As a group, you will discuss my comments. Upon completion, distribute the Chapter 5 Group Activity (Study Guide) to each group member and begin working-you will only have Monday and fifteen-minutes on Tuesday to complete this activity. When I visit your group, I will ask you to take out the Chapter 2 activity so we can discuss it together. In addition, I will observe your collaboration on the Chapter 5 Study Guide Questions, providing assistance as needed.

Of Mice and Men Assignment

On Friday, 24 September, you will receive the Chapter 4 study guide which will be due on Thursday, 30 September. It requires a considerable degree of thought-so start on it early. Do not wait until Wednesday evening. So that your task is less overwhelming, you only have to answer 16 out of the 23 questions. Pay particular attention to the instructions at the top of the page-I will NOT give you any credit for a ONE sentence response! You may desire to record and/or continue your response on a separate sheet of paper.
