We completed a quiz on the novel Speak (up to p. 116).
We then read silently for 20 minutes.
Then we began discussing the provincial exam. We looked at the first section: the poetry section. We looked at examples and discussed the types of poetry that appear on the exam. I provided an example of the poetry section (from the 2008 Provincial exam); we looked at the poem and worked through the multiple choice questions.
I handed back the compositions that we completed on Jan. 7th.
