We started class today with a grammar review on parts of speech (there will be a grammar quiz this week). We also started our unit on short stories. First off, we reviewed some literary terms and basic parts of a short story. Make sure to get the Powerpoint notes if you were absent. To transition from our Animal Farm unit, the first short story we looked at was the allegory fable "Terrible Things" by Eve Bunting. We proceeded to work on corresponding questions. We also started the story "Lather and Nothing Else" by Hernando Tellez. Finish this story for homework (it can be found in Sightlines 10).
Reminders:
- Finish "Lather and Nothing Else" for next class
- Parts of Speech Quiz
