Wednesday, 6 October

Class today began with the all school assembly in which students and staff were asked, "How can we do better for ourselves as a school community, and as the community of Portland."

After the assembly we wrote privately about our reactions; few people wished to share their thoughts.

Returning to our study of Catcher in the Rye, students worked in their Psychologists Expert Groups to try to understand how the questions that they are focusing on relate, and how understanding those relationships might help us understand Holden.

Students then began working on their "Preliminary Report on What's Wrong with Holden? Why is Holden NOT being successful?" A one to three paragraph report is due on Monday. The report should use evidence from the text (at least two quotes).

We reviewed Cause & Effect words that would be useful
Cause words include: because of; the reason for; on account of; bring about; _______ consequently; ________ is created by;

Effect words include: out come; finally ; the result is; therefore; hence; then....


HOMEWORK:
CHAPTER 10 is due on Monday

The Preliminary Report is also due on Monday

Chpater 11 is due on Tuesday
