Standard 02-04-2014

Items we hit today:

*Do your homework.  I don't give a ton of homework so be sure you complete what is assigned so that class can run smoothly.  

*Summaries are important.   Be sure to highlight the important ideas of the story and avoid excessive details.

*Even though we are switching our focus from nonfiction texts to fiction books, evidence is needed.  You need to support your characterizations.  You need to support your themes.  You need to support your analysis of the text.  Just finding a quote is not enough.  Does the quote support what you are trying to say? If so, then it is a good quote to use.  Be careful when selecting your support.

*We need to hunker down and get through our "Lemon Brown" discussion.  Be ready to hit the ground running on that tomorrow.  

*To the IMC tomorrow!  You will be finding a fiction book.  Be ready to read!

See you soon.
