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

Wishful Wednesday:

Block A: It is almost the end of our short story unit! Finish reading "A Small, Good Thing" tonight for homework - we'll discuss tomorrow and then on to comparative analysis essay writing!

Block C: Today we worked in small groups to answer some discussion questions about "The Most Dangerous Game." Then I gave you some class time to work on your detailed story map - I will be doing a homework check to make sure those are done. Homework tonight is to write 3 haiku poems based on the setting of our story. If you want to write more - you absolutely can! Poem should be typed or hand-written in pen please!

Block D: Nouns, common nouns, pronouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns - make sure you know them all - for the quiz tomorrow! The in-class goal for your poetry project today - was to choose 2 or more poems to include in your anthology, to write your 2 reflections on your own original poems and to complete your bibliography. If you did not get your reflections done today - that is ok - I will give you time in class to work on them tomorrow - but please bring your 2 choice poems to class if you needed to print them off from home. Make sure you are on track to finish this project for Monday's Poetry Cafe!
