9/11 and Bram Stoker's Dracula

Grade 12 

  • Went over the rule for connecting two independent clauses in a sentence. If done with a comma, the result is a run-on sentence. Such clauses must be connected with either a semi-colon or a conjunction (so, but, and, etc.). I see this error constantly. Please be mindful!
  • Students read a personal narrative of my own on a visit to Ground Zero in NYC, annotated, responded in writing and discussed.
  • HW: Read and annotate the first essay in the handout. 


Grade 10

  • Repeated the process done with the Twilight trailer with the trailer for Barm Stoker's Dracula. Students wrote down direct and concrete observations and reactions on a T-chart, then constructed a claim/evidence paragraph answering the question, "What are we supposed to feel/think about this vampire?"
