Lesson 47

 Students received the rubric for their Fishbowl work.

There was some work time (for comprehension questions, setting notes, and character notes etc.) while today's fishbowl group prepared.

The first group presented their discussion, and set a clear standard for what a thorough and genuine engagement with text can be.

We began reading the next chapter - stopped at the bottom of page 51 ( 26:52 in the third chapter of the audio book).

Homework: 

• Many students will find having their own copy of the text beneficial - this will enable note-taking and re-reading outside of class and tutorial times...Maybe a trip to the library is in order?
• Students can continue taking notes on character, setting, and comprehension questions - page numbers should be added as and when possible.
• The second group has been given their section of text to work with, and will be investigating the term pathetic fallacy. We will finish reading the chapter together at the start of next class, while the group works ahead to prepare for the subsequent fishbowl discussion

Well done, everyone!
