Standard 02-11-2014

We took the theme quiz over "Lemon Brown" today.  Most of us went with a basic response similar to our themes from "Gil's Furniture" and the poem "Friendship".  Yet a few people looked a little deeper and found a stronger possible theme.  Nice job Hanna Chae, Connor Allen, A.J. Antonelli, and Levi White in period three and Sam Catrell, Caleb North, Kate Feurst, Nathan Gerwels and Ali Sualeh in period four.  I'll look at the responses over the next few days and report back as soon as I can.  Hopefully the explanations of the themes are as strong as the themes.

We should all have a fiction book by now to read for our project.  Fill out your reading plan card and then hand it in to me.  We'll post them up tomorrow and the update them daily.  Make up a spot in your notebook to keep notes too.  Summary info, figurative language info, character traits and evidence and support as well as themes and support for those.  Lots to keep track of.

What does the phrase lamb to the slaughter mean?  We'll be talking about that tomorrow.

See you soon.
