Periods 1 & 3:
Students recorded CD's from "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven," after which we watched old clips of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, and began to discuss the story.

Period 2:
We reviewed many items in the school planner.

Period 4:
Students checked out copies of the textbook, and we discussed the assignment for Monday, reviewing expectations regarding both the writing process and the structured writing guidelines.

HW due Monday:
Periods 1-3: Reread the story. You may have to write about it on Monday.

Period 4:
Read pages 20 and 21 in Elements of Literature (the textbook), which contain an essay by Joseph Bruchac about Native American literature, and write -- and type -- a solid, two-chunk paragraph conforming to structured writing guidelines. The paragraph is to answer the question, "What does Bruchac mean by the title of the essay ('The Sun Still Shines in the Same Sky')?"
