be good to the "sub!"1) Silent Reading for 10 minutes
2) Group Think for 15 minutes - Okay, so yesterday we did not get to finish our discussion about the short story, "Identities," (p.3) BUT today you have to put your ideas together and find a visual way to answer the following questions.
- What are the five most interesting qualities about the central character?
- What do the contrasts between the two settings represent to our protagonist?
- Why is the title important?
- What is the theme, the central idea, of the story? (There are many possible answers...)
Grab a little white board (at the front on the floor) and a dry erase marker (in my drawer), or a big sheet of paper and a marker, and find a way to draw/sketch/label your way to a visual version of your answer. Leave them for me to view on Monday. Also, be prepared, on Monday, to explain what they mean.
3) To the Library to Write a Narrative
Keeping in mind, the feedback I recently gave you on your writing, and considering the expectations of the six-point scale, write a 250 - 500 word response to ONE of the following topics:
If figuring out who you are is necessary, then who do you think you are so far? What are your values? What are your goals? What really matters to you?
OR
Describe what Fall makes you think of. What memories come back? What hopes, desires, feelings surface when the air becomes crisp and the leaves turn.A personal response like this will be written in first person, "I." You may opt to write a narrative/story or a personal essay.
DUE MONDAY!
Have a happy and safe weekend, people! :)
