05.19 - Week 2 Reading/Groundwork

In class today, people met in their lit circles and had the period to work on the reading and groundwork for their role this week. During this time, I met individually with people to wrap up any questions related to grades and fourth quarter work.

For homework, the Thursday discussion group should wrap up their ground work and start on the synthesis work for their role. The I am Legend groups will meet tomorrow for their discussion prep meeting.

For homework, the Friday discussion group should begin wrapping up their reading and groundwork. They will have their discussion prep meeting on Thursday.

At the end of class, we came together as a class to discuss individual responses to the following prompt:
