Good morning everyone,

To start off class today, I want you to reflect on your English Journal grade. You will have 10 minutes to get your computer and complete the reflection.

Step 1:

In your English journal answer the following questions:

1. Are you satisfied with the grade you received on your English journal? If not, why? What grade do you feel you should have received?

2. What aspects of your English journal do you think you could improve, within the next three weeks?

3. Do you have any specific questions about your grade?

Step 2:

Spin your computers. We are going to do a mini-review on all of the pieces we have read so far in the nature unit.

Step 3:

Find a partner. With your partner complete the following form. This is a review to get you thinking back to all of the different perspectives we have looked at so far.

***NOTE YOU CANNOT CHOOSE THE NATIVE AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE YOU ALREADY COMPLETED A FORM FOR THAT ONE***
