TODAY’S LESSONS:
Lesson #1:
Serious Listening in a Socratic Seminar
Think about that person in your life
who really listens
when you talk to him or her.
Try to be like that person
in our seminar this morning.
Be especially careful to track the speaker.
See if you can turn your eyes
to each speaker.
How Did We Do?
*******************************
LESSON #2:
Circling unfamiliar words
and
making personal connections
As you read today,
try to circle one unfamiliar word
on each page,
and try to make a personal connection
with what is happening
in the story.
Does it remind you of something in your own life --
something that happened to you,
or in a movie,
or on another book?
* In notebooks,
write covered topics in margin.
When all is quiet, Teacher Assistant stands and says:
"Rise, push in chairs, and leave quietly with thanks."
