Directions:

  • Today you will have the opportunity to choose the type of notes you want to complete for this chapter.
  • Go to page 42 in your notebook and choose which type of notes you will try
  • Once you've picked, go to the next page in your notebook and begin setting up your notes with the date, title, & page number. 
  • *Remember* Notes go on the left side of your notebook. 
  • Raise your hand if you need sticky notes.
  • You should include a minimum of 10 details, or bullets, in your notes

What note taking strategy did you pick?
Why? What do you like about it?

Discussion Questions:
  • What stages of the Hero’s Journey has Harry gone through already? Explain. Level 2
  •  What is a Mudblood? Level 1
  • Who do Harry, Ron, & Hermione go to for help when Ron's spell backfires? Level 1

Best Question:
As we read I want you to write down questions in your notes. When we are done reading you will have the opportunity to ask your questions to the group.

Remember that there are 4 levels of questions. In class we focused on learning how to write levels 1 - 3. 

Level 1 - Has 1 answer that can be found directly in the text *Does not prompt a discussion because there is only 1 correct answer & it's right in the book

Level 2 - Has an infinite number of answers and puts you, the reader, into the book. *Usually prompts the best discussions if everyone does their reading, because this type of question asks for your opinion about things that are happening in the book, and everyone has an opinion.

Level 3 - Has an infinite number of answers and pulls situations from the book and asks you to apply them to your own life. *Can often prompt great discussions if you ask the right question because these types of questions get people talking about their own lives.

When we play "Best Question" your classroom teacher acts as the judge. Each house picks 1 representative to read the question they think is best, and then the student leads the discussion. After all 4 houses have led the discussion for their question the teacher will award house points for the question they think is best. The points are entirely up to the teacher, and they may choose to award more or less points based on the strength of your questions. Some days all Houses will earn points, while other days only one house might earn points. It all depends on you and the quality of your efforts.

Day 97: 3/23/21 - Harry Potter Chapter 6 Writing




Good Morning,

          I am very disappointed with the number of assignments that were handed in yesterday that were clearly done in a rush to simply get them turned in. I am talking about your quizzes, notes & summaries.

        You all know exactly what is expected of you when it comes to your notes, quizzes, and summaries. Each student who hands in assignments like the ones I graded last night will not only receive a score of zero, but they will also be told they need to redo and resubmit them. Additionally, they will cost their house points. I will not grade inferior work that lacks effort.          

       This is work that we have been working on for more than two weeks, so if you think you are going to rush through your assignments and get two weeks worth of work done in one class, you are sorely mistaken. If you are missing numerous assignments, it is going to require real effort on your part to get caught up. 

        I also do not understand why there were several students who were here in school on Monday who did the chapter 6 notes in class with me or their homeroom teacher, and then did not submit a photo of their work.  Your teachers are giving you 90 minutes of Language Arts in school so you do not need to have any E.L.A. homework. There is no excuse for you to not have this work done.

        Consider this your warning. Your actions have consequences. I will still give you full credit for your back due work, but I will not lower my standards or expectations. Today we will be writing about chapter 6 of Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. Make sure you put forth your best effort.
                                       Thank You,
                                          Mr. Trumble

Each House will get a piece of lined paper. You will have 10 minutes to write as many questions as you want. Focus on writing good level 2 & 3 questions. You may write about anything that has happened so far in the book. Take some time to discuss your questions and pick 2 - 3 questions you want to share with the whole class. 

Each house picks 1 representative to read the question they think is best, and then the student leads the discussion. After all 4 houses have led the discussion for their question the teacher will award house points for the question they think is best.

15 - 20 Minutes to share & Hang up models

Directions:

  • Find a fun, interesting, new, or challenging word from chapter 1- 4
  • Sign up for your word on the chart paper. Include your name, word, & page # (Virtual students - tell your homeroom teacher the word you want to sign up for)
  • Once a word is taken it may not be used again by any other student in that classroom
  • You will only have today in class to work on your model, o work diligently. We will be presenting them during the last 15 - 20 minutes of class. Even if you are not done, you will present whatever you have done, and you will have to finish it for homework

Frayer Models have 6 sections

  1. The word goes in the middle (Big and Bold)
  2. Sentence from the text goes in the top left. Include the page number.
    • Copy the whole sentence. Properly!
  3. The definition of the word goes in the top right. Include the part of speech (Noun, Verb, Adjective, or Adverb)
  4. Synonyms & examples go in the lower left. Synonyms are words that mean the same thing 
  5. Antonyms & Opposites go in the lower right
  6. An Illustration of your word goes at the very bottom 
Tips:
  • Write big and bold. Fill the space
  • Make sure everything is spelled correctly
  • Write using bold, dark colors. 
  • Color and decorate using light colors, or light shading
  • Be aware of the time and work diligently
  • Do not just copy the definition from the dictionary. Try to fully understand the definition and put it in your own words if you can
  • Be sure you include the part of speech (Noun, verb, adjective, or adverb)
  • You might want to complete the model in pencil first, then go over your work in pen, markers, or colored pencil.
Your teachers will give you a template for your model, and I will show you some examples of good models. 




Activity #2
Share Frayer Models

Directions:
For this activity it is your job to teach your vocabulary word to the rest of the students in your class. Depending on how much we have, your teachers will break you up in a way that will allow all of you to share in a small group.


Present your Frayer model to your peers. Be sure to include:
1 - the word including the part of speech
2 - the sentence from the text where you found it
3 - the definition (Explained by you in your own words)
4 - any synonyms or examples
5 - any antonyms or opposites
6 - an explanation of your illustration
7 - finish by asking if someone in your group can use your word in a sentence
8 - Once you have shared you can hang your Frayer model on your locker. Put them right below the "All About Me" activity.

Tips:
  • Speak loud and clear. 
  • Speak slowly. Do not talk too quickly or quietly.
  • Pause between each section
  • Ask if anyone has questions when you are done
  • Make sure you hold your model up so the other students can see it
  • Don't forget to ask if anyone can use it in a sentence of their own

Key Questions:
  • What is one new word that you learned today?
  • What is the definition of that word?
  • What does that word mean?
  • Do you think you could use that new word in your every day life?
