Practice
With your group, create a multimedia presentation showing examples of 5 types of propaganda techniques! (I strongly suggest using Google Docs, which allows you to collaborate. It also gives an embed code!) Embed your presentation on the attached wiki page.

Independent Reading Time
Read in your lit circle novel! Get at least 1 journal entry finished!

Homework
Read in your novel! Journal! Complete the handout for Week 1 Lit Circle Preparation. This will take a little bit of extra research on your part!

For next class:

 * 2) You MUST have your journal with you for a journal check! You should have been doing entries for your lit circle novel.
 * 3) Your preparation handout notes should be complete!
