We started off today with some notes on pronouns (a continuation of our unit on 'parts of speech'). We then continued reading "The Tell-Tale Heart", discussed the story, and watched a sort animation adaptation. We also went through some notes on 'unreliable narrators' and worked on comprehension questions for the story. After that, students took more notes on elements of short stories (plot, setting, theme and foreshadowing). To conclude class, we started reading "Thank You Ma'am"
in Sightlines 8. We will continue this story tomorrow.
