LA+30+November


 * //ok...slight change of plans. Today you have two options:

1. Finish FFA questions. See yesterday's wiki for the sheet.

[|webquest]



[|story]

2. If you've already finished, or would like to do those on the weekend, then this is your opportunity to earn 10 bonus marks, and help me try a brand new lesson plan on summarization. It will also serve as a review of our term so far. Here it is...

LIT IN TXT 4MAT

For this activity, I would like you to choose any of the stories we have worked with this term (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Sniper, Flowers for Algernon) and write a dialogue / conversation between two characters...in the form of a cell phone text message or IM chat. This is a language that your age group has invented. Use it!

Possible ideas: Text conversation between the two snipers (YRU shooting@me?!) Grinch texts Cindy Lou Who to ask her to keep it on the down low. Charlie Gordon texts his 'friends' after Muggsy's (I H8 U!)

These are just a few possibilities...show me what you can do.

Here's one that I did. Yours should be a bit more detailed than this. You may work in pairs if you like.

To help you out, I found a couple of [|txt msg dictionaries] that you could use. There are things here I've never heard of. I must be getting old.//**
