British Literature It’s a Pseudo-Super Tuesday! March 4, 2008 Ms. Cares

Agenda It’s / Its / Its’ and There / They’re / Their “Civil Peace” Rounds 2 Prioritizing the questions = or 

Indefinite pronouns and apostrophes With a partner (one paper, two names) create 1 sentence for each of the following words: 1. it’s 2. its 3. there 4. their 5. they’re

What does each word mean? it’s = it is its = a possessive form of a thing owning something its’ = this word does not exist! ITS’

What does each word mean? there = not here! they’re = they are their = a plural possessive, a group owning something

“Civil Peace” “Civil Peace” reading questions – Part 2 1. Underline the Key Words 2. Prioritize the Questions (  ) Note: You will have one-minute to complete the pre-reading questions; you will have 30- seconds on the test. 3. Answer the questions – 9 minutes on page 1277.

“Civil Peace” Homework 2 Due Thursday For Thursday, discover and explain 5 contradictions 5 contradictions that are readily apparent in today’s society. Example: How is it that the business of a career academy is to create careers yet many students do not participate in school-to-work programs? How is it that we are a career academy yet the school is specifically evaluated on how we perform on college preparatory exams and not on work programs?

Goals: These contradictions will help us to both conclude our work with Achebe’s “Civil Peace” and ask the types of questions that will lead to more thought- provoking writing.

ACT Preparation: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in the Social Room from 3:30-5:00pm. Ms. Cares will be there today, so come with your questions and desire to work! –Question of the day or –Reading for fluency and preparation for the essays. –Select at least one article a day and read it quickly. Attempt to summarize the article when finished.
