British Book Clubbing, Day 2: March 5, 2018

Focus: What conflicts are heightening in your British novels?

1. Warming up with three good things and Academic Vocabulary: Set 7

2. Offering you the highlight reel from Friday; enjoying British Book Clubs, Day 2

• What went well: 
• You found a good balance of being formal and feeling relaxed.
• Most of you seem to be enjoying the book.
• You're able to answer each other's questions and ease each other's confusion.
• You're using techniques from class and making them your own (ex: Wuthering Heights family tree).
• You're exploring and applying the historical context of your book (Remains of the Day).

• Where there's room for improvement:
• Syllabus and reading need to be complete before you walk into class.
• If you didn't have enough to talk about, then you need to do more work as you read.
• Consider having a task master in your group.
• Be honest in your exit tickets. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear.
• There's no such thing as senioritis in here. This is a sophomore college class.

3. Wrapping up with a quick exit ticket

HW:
1. For Tuesday (tomorrow): Finish your poetry proposal and turn it it, or finish your intro/thesis and e-mail it to me.
