Block A: I collected your characterization chart for "The Necklace" today. We also wrote a quiz on short story terminology. We then got started on reviewing the different types of paragraphs. We are focusing on expository paragraph writing for our first attempt. I gave a handout of different topics, you need to complete the pre-writing section - could be a brainstorm or a list, then the point form outline on the back for homework this weekend.
Block B: Thank you to all of those who handed in their completed Travel Project today. If you did not hand in task 1 make sure you do so for Monday. The lesson today was on what good readers do to make meaning from what they read. We took some notes on reading strategies and started to practice with a short story. Please do not read the rest of the story - we will finish it together as a class on Monday!
Block D: Thanks for presenting your ideas on the story "Boys and Girls" today! Some interesting ideas and interpretation. Your paragraph response is due on Monday.
