Thursday, September 19, 2019 (Day 1)

ELA 8A

The students read for ten minutes.  We read and discussed the story "The Necklace" by Guy De Maupassant.  This author started the story with a description of the main character and her circumstances. This is contrast to the last two stories, which were started with a description of the setting and theme, and a conversation.  Students had time to continue work on their own short story.

SENIOR FRENCH

Today the students planned out the basics of the plot of their book.  This was based on: 
*introducing the book
*introducing the main character
*introducing the setting
*what is the problem
* three events in the book
*one part the reader liked
I have e-mailed sheets to those that were absent with an outline and my example.

ELA 9A & 9B

The students read for ten minutes.  We discussed answering questions fully as they received formative evaluations on their first assignments.  Then we went through tthe answers for the Compare and Contrast of "Breakeven" and "Sonnet 30."  Questions 8 & 9 should be handed in.
Finally the students read and annotated "The Seven Ages of Man," which we'll discuss further on Monday.

ELA 9A we will be correcting Vocabulary Lesson 1, parts B & C, tomorrow.  Make sure it is complete and here.
