Another blast of arctic air, another snow day. I'm not complaining--are you?--but I don't want to be sitting in the classroom in July.
As far as class goes, we will pick up with our Friday plans. For the standard classes that means identifying a unifying theme for "Gil's Furnitiure" and the "Friendship" poem followed by an examination of the short story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown"by Walter Dean Myers. We will of course look at its theme but also be analyzing the characters, setting and the description. There are sure to be some similarities between the two short stories. Can you identify them?
For the honors classes that means looking at our complete, typed rough drafts of TIPP. With a couple extra days I'm sure you were able to scrub them up a little more. remember that the better they are when you have your peers read them, the better they will be by the time the final copy comes around. At this point, the final copy due date is looking to be Wednesday-Thursday. One thing I can tell you is that after our peer edit day, we will be putting the finishing touches on the paper on our own at home. In class we will start diving into some prime classic fiction tales. Time to get a fiction novel from the IMC too. We'll come up with something to do with that. Oh, that goes for all of you in the standard class as well. Be thinking of fiction novels you want to read.
Hopefully we'll all be able to brave the cold and snow and see each other tomorrow.
