We started class with silent reading and a worksheet on Parts of Speech. We then went over "The Monkey's Paw" questions. After that, I introduced the format for literary paragraphs and students drafted out a plan for a character paragraph based on one of the stories we read in Sightlines. We will continue this tomorrow.
For the rest of class, we watched a the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox" as a finale to the short story unit. Students then started a plot analysis worksheet for this.
