had some class time at the beginning of class to finish 1.9 (Circles of Influence), after I modeled how I would complete it;
read the poem Where I Am From (pages 22 & 23), doing line by line analysis of uncertain elements and any symbolism; and
had 15 minutes at the end of class to start your own version of Where I Am From, your plan for your Embedded Assessment, and a list of the materials you'll need on 10-3-12 (this Wednesday) to get a reasonable start on your Embedded Assessment.
I:
handed back a bunch of work (Essential Questions, Quilt Square Quickwrites, What is Communication? Quickwrites)
Homework:
write your own version of Where I Am From;
make a plan for your Embedded Assessment (pages 24, 25, 26, and 27); and
bring the materials you'll need on 10-3-12 (this Wednesday) to get a reasonable start on your Embedded Assessment. Look VERY closely at the step-by-step requirements on page 24, especially.
