Hey 11’s! I’ve been a touch negligent in getting our work posted here, but I wanted to get back on that horse, so to speak. So, that said, here’s what we did this week and what we’ll be doing for the rest of it as we continue to read John Krakauer’s novel, Into the Wild.

Monday: I’ll be introducing an activity in which we’ll be illustrating a passage from Into The Wild which gives us some kind of insight into Chris/Alex as a character. You can find the direction here.

Tuesday: We’ll start the day with Into The Wild Journal Entry #4. Afterwards, I’ll be introducing Vocabulary #4, and asking you to craft a paragraph using 7 of the 10 words from Vocabulary #3 and #4. I’ll be stamping them on Wednesday.

Homework: Read chapters 7-9.

Wednesday: I’ll begin class by stamping your vocabulary paragraph, then we’ll be transitioning into an activity that will explore chapters 8 and 9 in detail. You can find it here. Also, I’d expect a reading quiz, if I were you. Just saying…

Homework: Read chapters 10 and 11.

Friday: After our weekly vocabulary quiz, we’ll be starting work on another characterization activity, focusing on the similarities and differences between Walt McCandless and his son Chris. Afterwards, I’ll give you some time to work on our homework for the weekend.

Homework: Read chapters 12 through 14.
