Monday we added some "tone words" to our working list, and we read a short story called "First Day." I also handed out the Literary Term Glossary assignment that goes all year, we will get more detail on Wednesday about grading and due dates. We wrapped up our thinking about "The School Children" by writing a practice thesis statement.
Tuesday: We read Marginalia by Billy Collins, practiced close reading and notes with the first paragraph of All the Pretty Horses, took part of that work home, and took a short quiz/writing prompt relating one of the chapters from "How to Read . . ." to specific aspects of the first 59 pages of APH.
Wednesday: Be ready for more narrative POV talk, a close examination of the glossary assignment and another chance to write about APH. YES!!!
