Big Ideas
  1. What are the four wells we draw from again and again--backbone lit?
  2. We keep telling the same stories over and over again--why?
  3. If you know what to look for, you’re  better able to see patterns in what you’re reading.
  4. The purpose of our work  in trios is to familiarize ourselves with literary archetypes in more detail.

Reading Assignment--...something else to help you see the patterns!
  • “How’d He Do That?”--Professor Foster
  • Write annotation directions on your packet, please.
    • Define words you don’t know (probably ten to fifteen)
    • Wiki allusions (references), then note
    • Annotate.
  • I’ll start you off by reading aloud, and then you’ll take over.

Annotation Conference
  • I’ll be calling you back one at a time to talk about your “How to Mark a Book” annotations.  When you get the call, come meet with me, please!  

Vocabulary
  • Everybody Up!
  • You can have your vocab list out (the new one).
