1.31.18+and+2.1.18

Finals back--review.

Quick review of parts of speech. Here's the handout I gave students. At the bottom is a link to a Kahoot quiz you can look through. We went through it in class. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aOfAcjP5KJPqvILMjadQiZOX_GCWUGpJpIk9Jtv-kc4/edit?usp=sharing

Text/Dialogue Puzzle Activity: This was an in-class activity. No need to make it up. Packet with Excerpts: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e91eYGDIfVxY5Go57vbhYkpWb0R8385z/view?usp=sharing

In the packet, you’ll find excerpts from all six of the graphic novels we are reading. Your job is to analyze as a group to discuss what is happening and how characters are functioning in this scene. The catch: all the dialogue and text is whited out. As a group, try to create what you think is happening or being said based on the visual clues for your graphic novel. Then, move onto the others.

Once we’ve done them all, we’ll go back and see how well we did.

Questions for discussion: > > >
 * 1)  How did you make your decisions about what was being said or described?
 * 1)  How accurate were your choices?
 * 1)  What made figuring out dialogue/text difficult?

After viewing the actual texts: > >
 * 1)  What do authors do with text/dialogue to create meaning?
 * 1)  How do visual and literary elements within the texts play off of each other?

HW: Reading #4 and do you prep work for Log #3.
