Read Act 3: Pages 130-140

Step 2: Read Act 3 pages 130-140

What you just said--about the circle. It isn't a circle--it is simply a long line--as in geometry, you know, one that reaches into infinity. And because we cannot see the end--we also cannot see how it changes. And it is very odd but those who see the changes are called "idealists"--and those who cannot, or refuse to think, they are the "realists." Act 3, page 134

Step 4: Text-based questions (packet) through # 72

vocab:
idealist-a person who represents things as they might or should be rather than as they are
realist-a person who represents things as they are instead of how they might or should be 
martyr-a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, 
or cause.

Today we will:--At the end of the class, all 3 of these things will be taken for a grade.

• Begin by taking Quiz #4 for RITS on ACT 2--you may use your book and notes. (MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE QUIZ THAT SAYS PERIOD 7/8)
• Second, finish the two-sided worksheet from yesterday and Quick Write #4
• Third, you can work on the questions in your RITS packet--you should be done up to #63
• *When you are finished with all of these things, work on the Anticipation Guide I handed you on the way in today...If you are running too far behind on classwork, it will be considered HOMEWORK.

Quick Write #4: A RITS----------Both the worksheet and quick write are due today---NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!

First, complete both sides of your worksheet (see yesterday's blog post). Make sure you are using the correct information from ACT 2. Scene 3 ONLY.

Quick Write Topic: (Example Quick Write was on Friday 4/18)---Use your graphic organizer from your worksheet for help!!!!!!

Quick Write #4 RITS: Make at least three claims about the character of Walter displayed by the author in Act 2, Scene 3. Use at least one example from the text to support each claim and explain. I strongly suggest you use adjectives to describe Walter. Think about the STEAL strategy we have notes on indirect characterization (as well as any direct you see):
Speech
Thoughts
Effects on others
Actions
Looks

Here is a review of our TREEE*S quick write format:

Thesis- (the point you will prove--your 3 claims about Walter as seen in Act 2, Scene 3/TAG)
Reason- (why do you believe this is true--just an overview--NOT SPECIFIC examples yet!)


Claim #1: (adjective from your chart)
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis

TRANSITION
Claim #2:(adjective from your chart)
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis

TRANSITION
Claim #3:(adjective from your chart)
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis
Evidence/Explain-textual evidence to prove one claim and explain or connect to the thesis

Summary-sum up your main points

**Note: for the best quick write (8/8), I would use 2 textual examples for each claim


For example:
claim #1: Walter is sexist
I saw this here:                       this shows he is sexist because:
I also saw this here:               this shows this because:
