English 9

Silent reading and grammar.
Today we started a literary paragraph for The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Students were given a list of topics; as a class, we brainstormed ideas and examples to use for the paragraph. We then drafted the topic sentences for each of the choices so that students could start their plans for the paragraph. Students worked incredibly well on this! We will continue working on it tomorrow.

We also did a comparison chart, contrasting the movie and film versions of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. For the second half of class, we worked in the lab on the BSP final projects. This was the LAST class given to work on it, and they will be due tomorrow.
