Today, we will begin with a brief pre-assessment/knowledge check of text structures. We will then start reading Flowers for Algernon. Before we read, we will explore multiple intelligences in our small groups. We will target out strongest sense of intelligence and explore how it will help us work within our groups during this unit. We will use context clues to determine vocabulary. Finally, we will determine the text structure present in Flowers for Algernon.

1) Read dystopian novel for seven minutes. If you are finished, read your Independent Reading novel.
2) In small groups, review the multiple intelligence slideshow here: Multiple Intelligence.
3) Split up the work and complete your "Oh, the Possibilities" graphic organizers.
4) Discuss your intelligence strengths and limitations.
5) Whole class reading of FFA (p. 115-123)
6) Review FFA vocabulary sheets, Part I and II. Fill in the boxes as we read.

Homework: Finish ortho, psycho, and pyro Cornell Notes. They are due tomorrow. If you are having trouble, come get a graphic organizer from me.
