English 8

We started off the day with silent reading, notes on interjections and a song on coordinating conjunctions. After that, we finished going through the Point of View worksheet. We then discussed some pre-reading questions for the story "The Hockey Sweater", and discussed the significance that sport teams have on our identity. I also gave students a little background on French/English language politics. We then read the story, went through the plot analysis and watched the corresponding N.F.B. film.

During the second half of class, we worked in the library on a final project collage for the Short Story Unit.

Reminders:
  • "The Hockey Sweater" worksheet: due Friday, September 25, 2015
