I'll open with an apology. I'm sorry that The Giver was not passed out today. I really felt that we needed to do a bit of writing on "Old Glory, "The Pedestrian", and "Harrison Bergeron". Your goal is to find a connection between the three stories. The more insightful your connection the better. This is going to be an in-class essay. Completely, in class. You'll be assessed on your ability to clearly develop a unique, well-supported connection between the three stories. Remember, after you make a claim you need to say something about the story, support it, explain it. You'll do that for each story. I have your initial drafts. We'll take our next step as soon as tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the predictive Acuity test. You need to start it and finish it tomorrow. It's not for a grade, but it does indicate how well you'll do on ISTEP in the spring.
Great job overall on those figurative language quizzes. So many perfect scores! I felt great and you should too. We added to our figurative language bank today with the word metaphor. Can you define it? Can you come up with an example? Can you explain why your example is a metaphor? If you answered yes to all three, then you are well on your way to another perfect score on another figurative language quiz.
How important is it to know your grandparents?
See you soon.
