Week 1: What to Expect

Mon. Feb 4th:
* Reading comprehension practice. What do you know? Where are the gaps? Help each other. Compete for victory
* Vocabulary introduced and assigned. First check on Thursday
* Complete portfolio. Finished portfolio due Thursday Feb 7th

Tues. Feb. 5th:
* Do Schools Kill Creativity?

* As a class and as individuals we will explore our school system critically. Share your ideas and opinions. Discuss, debate, publish your ideas

Wed. Feb. 6th:
* P.E.E. formula and music challenge
* What was Henrix talking about? What does his metaphor mean?

This is one of Hendrix' most autobiographical and personal songs. He hated talking about his past, and avoided it during press conferences and interviews.
Hendrix played all of the lead guitar parts backwards, then rewound the recording of the lead guitar parts to the song to get that effect you hear in the beginning and in the middle of the song.

Thurs. Feb. 7th:
* Vocab checked
* Finish and hand in portfolio
* Short Story notes: Create a quiz to stop your friends in their tracks. Help each other with these foundations.

Fri. Feb. 8th: Professional Development Day. Students not in school

Have a spectacular long weekend! See you all Tuesday.
