"Roger Ebert: The Essential Man"

Good Morning! 

1.  Independent Reading -- Remember that one of your books this semester must be from the recommended list. I have decided to make the final book review this semester an oral review.  We will take time before and during the final schedule to complete this. I gave you a rubric yesterday.  We will start the oral book reviews next Tuesday and finish on the day of your scheduled final: Period 3 on Thursday and Period 6 &7 on Friday.

2. "Roger Ebert: The Essential Man" --  We are not quite done with this text!  We are continuing this from yesterday. Look at Activity #21: The Mock Interview.  You need a partner for this activity.  Complete the questions in your Writer's Journal and conduct the interview with your partner.  Some of you WILL VOLUNTEER to do the interview for the class.

     *Complete Activity #22 in your Writer's Journal -- we have done a lot of discussion on the text.   By responding to this assignment in your journal, you will be more solid with the ideas before we go on.

HOMEWORK:  Prepare for your oral book review,
