Today started off with a recap of the weekend's reading followed by discussion of our chapter review questions. Shortly afterward, we went into our literacy circle groupings and voted on our two best presentations (below).
In the second block, we looked at how Ponyboy's impression of the Socs and Greasers had changed in our journals and had a few students share their insights. We concluded our second last class together with a challenging, group-based, oral language vocabulary quiz to settle our current draw!
