1. In the top margin on a new page of your yellow notebook, write “Pronouns.” A subject pronoun is a pronoun that replaces a noun as the subject of a sentence. He, she, it, we, and they are examples of subject pronouns. Example: Robert Browning was a poet.  He was a poet. You and I are examples of subject pronouns that don’t need a reference to the noun or phrase that they are replacing. Example: You and I enjoy his poetry. First, copy down these notes. Rewrite each sentence, but… 1.Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a poet during the Victorian period in England. 2.Robert admired her poetry, and he wrote to Elizabeth. 3.Robert and Elizabeth were married in 1846.

4. Making Masks It will be displayed in the hallway. The purpose of the mask is to answer the question, “Who am I?” We are reflecting on our work with the poem “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar. To make your mask, you first have to decide how you want to present yourself to the class. Which aspects of your identity do you want to emphasize? Which aspects of your identity do you wish to conceal? You can decorate both the outside and the inside of the masks. Use the outside to represent the aspects of your identity you openly show to the world and the inside to represent the more private aspects of your identity.

5. Expectations: Color (more than one) No pencil lines showing through (notice that all of mine have been traced over with colored pencil or crayon) The majority of the mask is covered More than one part of your public identity is displayed (I have shown at least 7 here) Stick people can be “jazzed up” with effort (see the back of my mask)

6. I have a “bubbly,” upbeat personality and I try to have a “sunny” disposition. I am a perfectionist; I always try to do my very best the first time around I drew Lucky Charms cereal because although my family comes from Ireland, I don’t really know that culture or history. It’s very “Americanized” for me. I try to be funny. I enjoy people with a sense of humor. My education is very important to me. I am a lifelong learner. I still take college classes to learn new things! I feel obligated to always look put together. Except on the weekends! I love all my students as if you were my own kids!

7. One of my largest insecurities is my fear that I am not being the best teacher possible. I worry whether or not I am doing all I possibly can for my students. (I also worry about you guys a lot in general!)
