"So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the back seat..." Well, for one, if you take the back seat you'll probably not have a very good view. That seemed to be a bit of a problem today in periods three and four. There was a significant amount of the Monday Blahs. We struggled through and saw three potential paper topics coming our way.
First topic could be on character analysis--we analyzed Squeaky and showed how important ample support can be.
Second topic could be author analysis--we looked at Toni Cade Bambara and tried to figure out what her traditions, heritage, beliefs or attitudes might be. I want to give a BIG shout out to Jasmine Leininger and Mackenzie Saar for coming up with the best claim about TCB all day--that's including the enriched class, girls. They both claimed that based on the story "Raymond's Run" Bambara believes that one of the most important ideals is to be true to yourself. WOW! Now that was a close, effective read. Way to go, girls.
Our third topic could be on the significance a paragraph plays in the development of a story. This is an area that will require a lot of work. I'm not sure we understand the idea yet, but since it is a huge critical first quarter standard, you can bet we will be coming back to it soon.
We didn't get to The T of LB (the next story we are going to read), but never fear. It'll be ready and waiting for us tomorrow. Be thinking about an item you treasure most of all. We'll be writing about it tomorrow.
Now here is a chance for you to have your Archer card signed. All you need to do is tell me who sang the song that contained the lyrics with which I opened up this post. Ask Mom or Dad; they might know.
See you tomorrow.
