English 8

Don't forget to review your notes tonight!

We started off class today with silent reading and a worksheet on interjections. Students then took some notes on irony and types of conflict. We looked at some T.V. clips to supplement our understanding of irony (the "Ironic" song, a short clip from "Mean Girls", and a short clip from "Modern Family"). We spent the rest of class reviewing elements of short stories for all of the stories we studied in class.

Things you can use to study:
  • Notes on 'Parts of Plot' and 'Elements of Short Stories'
  • All of the short story comprehension questions 
  • Notes on "Fantastic Mr. Fox"
  • The 'Plot Analysis' booklet that we filled out today
Reminders:
