I shared the updated review for the final exam. Students have a copy of the review, and it is available on Classroom. Students may use their literary terms packet on the exam, so if you've misplaced yours, print off a copy from Classroom.

We revisited our discussion from Friday about philosophy and dug into our own deep questions. On a notecard, students shared questions anonymously that give them pause. They then chose one of their questions (or one of Needleman's 9 questions) and applied it to a book they've read, explaining how the book attempts to answer the question.

With the remaining class time, students completed a character analysis, part three of the Reading Recap activities. Students also had time to finish the other activities and complete an end-of-course survey. All were due before the end of the period.

Coming Up:
Wednesday, 6/1: 1st and 2nd period Final Exams; all classes pick up notebooks
Thursday, 6/2: 3rd and 4th period Final Exams; early release
