December 16th through 20th

1. This week we will be discussing the book as a whole. You were each able to select two or more discussion questions from the back of the text.
You will have a graded discussion on these questions.

• Your reading and speaking scores will reflect your answers on the questions you've selected.
• Your listening scores will reflect ALL of the discussions you were not a part of.

2. We will also be completing a wordle. This is due on the 17th for gold day students and the 20th for blue day students. The steps are below.

• download and install Firefox (in self-service on your computer under "web") and Java (here)
• select a section of the book (an entire part) and pull words from it that reflect the tone of that particular section
• type the words in Pages (for copying and pasting purposes...sometimes wordle is glitchy)
• the more you type the words, the larger they will be
• connect words that need to appear together with a tilde (~)
• watch your capitalization AND spelling
• click on "create" in wordle
• copy words from pages
• paste them into wordle
• click on "go" 
• your wordle should be created, but now you need to work on the following:
• font
• color (use custom palette to create your own please)
• layout
• all of the above should reflect the tone and mood of the piece
• take a screeenshot
• upload the wordle to your blog using insert image (see below)

• write about your selections (words, colors, and font) and their effectiveness and post this to your blog as well
