Monday, February 14

Objective: Students will type their rough drafts for their compare/contrast essays.

Do-Now: Copy your new vocabulary words/definitions for the week from pg. 98: prodigy, lamented, listlessly, mesmerizing, discordant, dawdled, stricken, fiasco, nonchalantly, betrayal  ***THESE WORDS ARE GOING IN YOUR NOTEBOOK, NOT YOUR JOURNAL***

Agenda: Using your outline, type your rough draft for your Theseus/Sigurd Compare/Contrast essay.  Make sure to double-space your lines, indent the beginning of each new paragraph, and use Times New Roman 12 pt. font.  When you have finished typing your essay, e-mail it to TeacherWinberg@gmail.com so it may be edited.

Homework: Interviewing a Parent/Relative:  Ask a close family member to recall a funny story about you that he/she remembers from when you were a child.  Write down a summary of the story as told from your family member’s point of view.  Next, write down a summary of the same story from your point of view as a child.  Explain how the stories are similar/different.
