Objective:   I can analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure specific parts of a text (e.g., the choice of where to begin or end a story, the choice to provide a comedic or tragic resolution) contribute to its overall structure and meaning as well as its aesthetic impact (RL11-12.5).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Get out your reading book and your Seven Basic Plots chart; if you have not been reading on your own time, review what you last read.
• Review expectations for sustained silent reading
  • Read for 25 min.  
• Work to complete what you can in the chart you selected at the beginning of class.  
  • Don’t forget: You can turn in completed plot charts for optional assignment points at anytime.  You are not restricted to only reading one book! You only have to do one project, though. 
• Review your Work Plan and work on the ideas you have planned out for Work Day 3--halfway today!

Exit Task: Reflect on your work plan while your teacher comes around and reviews your progress with you.  Based on your reflection, you can edit your work plan in order to make sure you complete it fully.
