English 9

Silent reading and grammar editing.
Today I handed out an outline of things to study for the short story test on Thursday, and I went over the plot analysis for "The Bridge Builder". We also got copies of our next novel study The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. For the rest of class, we discussed some background information for the novel, including the causes of WW2, fascism, the rise of Hitler, anti-semitism, and the Holocaust. We finished the class with John Green's "Crash Course on WW2".
