SCRIBE NOTES 8/18/08

Salams Everyone,
SCRIBE NOTES for August 18, 2008

1) Spelling Pretest:
We completed a spelling pretest for lesson 1 in the vocabulary book on page 1 (go figure)
After the pretest we went through the definitions and completed exercise one, which we corrected in class... standard procedure.

2)POEMS!:
Everyone recited their "Where I'm From" poem to the class and turned it in to Sis Salma.

3)Transitions, Transformations, and Realization:
We too notes on the three types of memories that can be included in a memoir:

-Realization : When you get an epihany about something
-Transformation: When you change internally as the result of an event or series of events
-Transition: A moment in your life when you experience outward change ( ie, the death of a family member, movig, etc) that has an effect on you.

After notes, we came up with questions that could spark a person to remember a memory that could be categorized under realization, transformation, and transition, and wrote the questions in the appropriate colums around the room.


Homework:
1) vocab ex 2-3
2) Choose one question for each of he categories: realization, transformation, transition, and answer each question with a specific memory.
