1. LIT HIIT-
Considering Popova's review of Gaiman....
Literary Claim:
Both Maria Popova's review of Neil Gaiman's writing, “Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming” and Gaiman's piece, itself, emphasize the significance of being well-read by referencing a variety of authors in order to punctuate the argument.
Find as many specific quotes from the review to support Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole's literary claim. As you start pulling evidence, keep considering how it connects back to the argument.
2. Learner's Portfolio- 3 Components
A. Individual notes: As you read assigned texts, take notes in your Learner Portfolio. Sometimes, I will tell you what literary features to trace in your notes. Other times, you will choose what to document. Remember that you can never go wrong by writing about themes, writer’s choices that create those themes (literary techniques), and memorable quotations.
B. Class notes: Every day you should write down the date and some notes from that day’s class. It could be we do an activity I ask you to include in your portfolio; it could be you have a partner discussion and write down some of your classmate’s comments. LIT HIIT's are to be included in the LP. If you are absent, consult the class website. complete the day’s activities. If you are absent, I will check those pages in your notebooks to ensure you have completed this required make-up work.
C. Beyond notes: These pages will make your Learner Portfolio personally meaningful. Do you want to illustrate a key scene? Include and comment upon a news article that connects a text to world events? Rewrite a scene from a novel from a different character’s perspective? For each text, you should have “beyond” notes that show you are personalizing your relationship with the text.
** Organized your LP into 8 units (tab up, rock stars). See handout for 8 sections.
3. Work with the IB 7 Concepts- Break out rooms
Slide Creation- 7 Concepts Group Slide Show

- Discuss how the readings we have done so far have addressed this concept.
