1. Use the Rosa Parks photo sheet to infer what each perspective might be. Make some jot notes in each bubble. We did some background reading, used highlighters to isolate main and supporting details today, and worked in pairs to generate a 10 item timeline of key events as part of the scaffolding process to produce a more detailed Point of View statement, with evidence, from the photo in class on Friday.
2. MMS 58-59. Started in class today after we took up the first quiz of the unit. Students received this marked quiz to look at and it will be part of a test pack bundle shortly.
3. Haiku good copy due on Friday.

4. Choral Reading due on MONDAY February 26. The date has moved about a bit. The extension today is due to the numerous student absences last week and this week which have put a bit of a squeeze on rehearsal practice. Today we performed a dry run of a shared text -- the prologue to Romeo and Juliet. Students had a chance to see a range of other student approaches and to receive feedback from me. The challenges involved in a short public performance also were examined. Students should choose their own poem (14-20 lines) to deliver chorally next week.
