To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield. - Ulysses

Thoughts for Thursday:

Block A: No official homework tonight - absorb the feedback that I gave you on your elements work and we will continue the plot line and analysis tomorrow.

Block C: Group meeting and second set of journals tomorrow. Come prepared with your reading done and sticky notes filled with awesomeness to talk about in your groups.

Block D: Gah! Theme?! Why does it have to be so complicated?!!! Today we finished taking some notes, and reviewing the pink handout on theme statements. Then you started your final short story task: Write an awesome theme statement for all 5 of the stories we have read in this unit.  I did not assign the theme statements for homework, I will give you some time in class to keep asking me questions - talking it through is really the best way to develop a theme statement. Think over and absorb what was taught in class today and we will continue our theme journey tomorrow.
