Today we continued reading and analyzing Pico Iyer's essay, "Why We Travel." After going over some annotation basics with you, and discussing WHY we annotate a text, you finished annotating and summarizing your assigned page, and then got into groups of six. Taking turns from 1 to 6, each of you shared your annotations and page summaries with your group members adn then as a group created a 2-3 sentence summary of the entire essay. Tomorrow, we will debrief this activity and look at some key passages before diving into The Beach. Make sure you are caught up on this assignment if you were absent, as you will be asked to recall elements of this essay a few times throughout this unit. To download copies of the essay or the summary organizer, go to Monday's post.REMINDER: You have a blog assignment that is due next Monday, 9/21 by midnight.
