Tenasia Brown led an excellent Literature Circle discussion in the 3rd period writing class. This was no small feat for Tenasis, who admits that she does not like to speak out in class or participate. "Honestly, I'm shy most of the time," she wrote in her final reflection on the discussion. "For me to even lead it was a big step for me." Her questions were pointed and elicited a lot of discussion. For example, "Has your book had an impact on you? Why or why not?" She also asked us what we concluded about our authors from reading our books. Bianca said she was drained out today, but that said, Tenasia's questions nevertheless were very good and she enjoyed the discussion a lot.
Things did not go as well in the 7th period class. Too bad because I am very anxious to hear more about what students think about
The Bluest Eye.
Here's a photo of Tenasia deep in thought writing her final reflection:
Finally, we are creating a Poetry Page here for student poetry. Email if you would like one of your poems or raps posted on it. Meanwhile, the offer still stands: The first five students to comment on this blog will receive two extra credit classwork points.
