Blocks 1/2
We had a Remembrance Day Assembly in the morning. Following the presentation, we went over the analysis for the story "The Face In The Pool", we read the poem "Envy" in Sightlines 10, and created a Venn diagram identifying the similarities and differences between the two texts. We also had a discussion about narcissism and social media, and watched the following video clip:

Blocks 5/6
We worked a bit more on punctuation and sentence fragments. Students were then divided into groups of 2-3 and had to peer-edit each other's character paragraphs for "The Bicycle". Final copies are due next class. I then introduced the final project for our short story unit. The project is composed of two parts: a creative portion and a comparative essay.
*Bring any materials needed to work on your final assignment this Wednesday.
