Thursday

In Class
With a partner we discussed chapters 35 and 36 with a focus on how the lives of Coalhouse, Emma and Whitman have begun to change. Then, individually, we chose one of these characters and wrote a paragraph from their perspective, writing in first person. The options for the Ragtime project were distributed and explained.

Homework
Read chapter 37 and annotate. Come to class with your chosen option for the Ragtime project because I will send around a sign-up sheet. See me or send an email with any questions. Email: ms.loumakos@gmail.com.

What is a found poem?
A found poem is shaped from a collection of words or phrases found in one text. A found poem may be created by students after a text has been read, in part or in whole . www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us
