Sorry, but a family matter delayed Friday's and Monday's blog posts.
Agenda
1) Warmup—When you have kids, what will you do the same as your parents did? What will you do differently?
2) Extended Share
3) Practice Test announcement
Homework
None
Today, in honor of Back to School night, I had the students write about their own thoughts on parenting. It was very revealing! The great majority of kids have great respect for the way they were raised by their parents.
Because today was a minimum day, we had an extended period of students sharing their warmup with the class.
Additionally I announced and explained the practice test coming on Monday. The test includes definitions of all of the narrative unit vocabulary:
plot
setting
conflict
protagonist
antagonist
climax
resolution
theme
The definitions are all posted on the blog.
There will also be a short story to read, and then identify the plot, setting, etc. of the story. I will post the story after the test.
The test counts, but for only 10 points. The real test will count 50. It will come after we have read the next two stories.
