11.10 - Set 6 Roots / Anthem Socratic Seminar Prep

At the beginning of class today, everyone had a chance to practice reciting their poem with a partner (switching to reading the poem once they had recited as far as they could).

Next, I handed out the word list and practice sheet for the set 6 roots and prefixes and everyone had a chance to work on the word list portion of this sheet (we'll look at the practice section on Wednesday). Everyone had 20 minutes to work on this assignment and then I returned the dystopian fiction assignments that people had completed and reviewed overall class progress on these. The graph for grades and feedback were as follows:
