ELA - Students listened to me model reading "The Gift of the Magi" for analysis.  Stopping to think about Big Ideas, looking up words we were not familiar with, pausing after an important event was described and "wondering" what that meant to our main characters.  Students then re-read their packets making markings on the side noticing the same types of things.  Students should choose a story that "speaks" to them from their Text Packet to use as their Independent Text (the story they will analyze for their final Literary Analysis Paper). For tonight's journal entry, students should write the "Big Ideas" of their independent text and fill out the Short Story Elements worksheet given to them in class.  This will be checked as an "Entrance Slip" tomorrow.
