Today we began by responding to a journal prompt about how our first day of highschool compared to our expectations.. A few students shared their writings and we had a short discussion on the subject. Then we discussed the topic of characters in books and movies. We talked about how to do a character map and modeled an example. The students were then asked to do "Folder of me" which is basically a character map of themselves. The front of the folder is to have 5 adjectives defining the student along with a picture of the main item that defines them. On the back of the folder they are to have 5 places or items that they like.
HW: Any folders not finished in class were taken home to be completed.
