Day 3 of your adventure begins here!

Today is your first day of class!  

• Reread Chapter 8 - The Potions Master -  and Chapter 9 - The Midnight Duel, from the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
• Prepare your journal by labeling today's page with "Monday" and then include today's date. 
• As you compose your journal  for Monday be sure to use each of the following words, using the meaning you found in your book for the word, at least one time.  Make them orange in your document. (You may "copy and paste" this list by highlighting the words on this web page, right-clicking, choosing "copy," and then pasting the list into your journal so you have them all on hand to use as you write) :  cheek (NOT the cheek of your face), cozy (NOT a feeling, this is a thing), dunderheads, fungi, rickety, seeping, shimmering, simmering, ward, beckon, gloatingly, hobbled, hovering, javelin, quaver, toppled

You jump out of bed and look at your  schedule for today, which has magically appeared on the table in your room!   It seems that you'll be going to one class this morning but that your day is full of other activities as well.

Monday looks like this:

8:00 Breakfast

9:00 Tour of Hogwarts  

12:30 Lunch

1:00  Transfiguration - Professor McGonagall

3:00 Flying Lesson

5:30 Dinner

10:00 Lights Out  

Let's get going, this is going to be great!

Don't forget to make an entry in your journal for each activity of the day!  Include your whole experience!  Don't forget to mention what you do, see, hear, taste, touch. smell, and especially how you feel about it!  This is YOUR experience, so you are in charge of what happens to you at every turn!  

8:00 Breakfast

As you sit down in the dining hall you are amazed at the surroundings you see.  You hear the chatter of other students as they eat.  You notice a few "ghostly" servers drifting overhead with platters of eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, muffins, and pitchers of orange juice.  You notice the ceiling is ever changing and this morning the sky is stormy.  You wonder if it is actually going to start raining indoors!  No one else seems concerned, however, so you put your attention to your food and making some new friends.  Suddenly, you realize the ceiling has opened to admit a large number of owls.  Hedwig lands before you with an invitation to Hagrid' Hut this evening at 7:00.

• Design the invitation as you believe Hagrid would.  Show the front and inside of the note.  Be sure you choose colors, fonts, and pictures that fit the occasion.  Save this in your Journal so you can include it in your scrapbook later.

9:00 Tour of Hogwarts

Harry, Ron, and Hermoine come to find you and show you around the school grounds.  Wow!  You can't wait to get started!   They tell you that they are going to bring you into a secret passage they found last year and that you might have an adventure there!  

Make a hallway all your very own and make sure you remember all the things you see and do so you can journal about it when you get back!

• Before you come back here, take a picture of your hallway by pressing the "print screen" button and pasting that image into your journal.  

• Write a story in your journal about what happened to you or someone else in the hallway you created.  Don't forget to include all the details added as you created your own Hogwart's place!  Having your picture handy will remind you and your readers of everything you saw and did in your tour!

12:00 Lunch

1:00 Transfiguration - Professor McGonagall

You remember Harry's first transfiguration class.  You can't imagine why it would be fun to turn an animal into a water goblet, as you think it would be much more fun to turn a water goblet into an animal!  

• Click on the link below to view a "typical"  Hogwarts classroom.  

Don't forget to click and drag your mouse in the direction you'd like to turn so you can get a 360 degree view of the classroom and the office of the teacher.

• Journal about what happens to you and your friends in YOUR first transfiguration class.  What did you change into what?  What was the outcome?

3:00 Flying Lessons

Wow, you are even going to get a chance to try out a broom!  Now this is pretty important as you can't try out for a Quidditch position unless you can fly.

!  

• Journal all your thoughts and feelings about what you do and feel the first time you fly.                    

5:30 Dinner

• Dinner is a pretty fancy affair at Hogwarts.  What did you have for dinner?  How was it served?   Did anything out of the ordinary happen? 

7:00 Hagrid's Hut for Tea

You are looking forward to going to Hagrid's!  When you get there you look all around the room! 

Make sure you click and drag your cursor so that you can see a 360 degree view of the room!

• Journal all about Hagrid's Hut and any new creatures he may have had on hand to show you as you visited.

• On the way back to your room, you have a little trouble with the moving staircases! 

• Push the button below to play the game.  Use "print screen" to take a snapshot of your score when you are done!

10:00 Lights Out

You are exhausted!  What a first day you've had!  Just before you shut off the lights, you pick up your journal and finish writing for the day!

• Add any details and pictures you don't want to forget to your Journal!

• Rate your day using this handy rating rubric!  Run off one copy of the following document: Using a pencil or black pen, rate your day.  Don’t forget to thoughtfully write your reflections! Then, save your document in the required location, or print it off, whichever your teacher has indicated, and hand in your rubric.  Don’t forget your name!
