…AKA Foggy Teacher Brain (FTB) (it was sitting in the photocopier…), your homework sheet for tonight is posted here:

1. The Book of Three: read the selections from the novel and stage adaptation versions of Flesh and Blood – “1964” in the novel; and in the script, page 23, beginning with Susan’s line, “Come on, Billy,” through to page 25, ending with Susan’s line, “Don’t you worry.  I’m going.”

In your comp book make notes for discussion:

• How are they the same?
• Were any big sections omitted from the book in the stage version?
• Was anything of importance added to the script?
• Was anything compressed?
• Was anything adapted/slightly altered/changed?
• Was any of the prose transformed into dialogue?
• Why do you think the changes/additions were made?

Also consider, how might this inform your work creating the adapted script for your section of The Book of Three?

2.  The Book of Three (on-going): in light of yesterday’s discussion about the single-point rubric, look at the work you have done so far and think, “Have we done something that brings this up to the ‘Exceeding’ column?” If so, make a note of it on your rubric.  If not, and if you are interested, what can you do?  How will you know you have done it?

Stay in open communication with your partner(s).  Who is doing what?  When do you need it done by?  What can you be doing at home to support this work?

The Ideating and Prototyping Text rubric and all associated materials are due on Friday, December 8.  You are welcome to submit before then, if you are ready.

3.  Science: I will be conferencing with people to review your Science notes, beginning tomorrow. Please refer to criteria sheet (available here, if you have misplaced your copy), as well as the feedback you received on your Medieval Wales research.  This hopefully does not come as a surprise – it was talked about many times, several weeks ago!
