>IN CLASS:
• HANDED OUT: Syllabus & 2 weeks assignments, Info Sheet, Book Circle Inventory, Book Circle Report Template
• MAKING: 2 min. Attendance Portraits (Barry. 2014. Syllabus. Drawn & Quarterly. p. 56.) https://www.drawnandquarterly.com/syllabus
• CLASS BUDDIES
• BOOK CIRCLES BEGIN
After our Attendance Portraits we will begin creating book circles. Everyone will be in one. You will create a name for your circle, we will number them, and otherwise organize them using our inventory.
Then you will work on your first Circle Report, with the reading assignments for today, using our Book Circle Report template.
Book circles will report to the entire class on their activities and projects. What do you want to do about your fifth book? How will you choose it?
