We had a good race to see who could find and correctly identify the figurative language in a story. Congrats to Caleb North, Ali Sualeh, Nathan Gerwels, Garrett Deakin, Jacob Thompson, Conner Allen, A.J. Antonelli and Max Chaffee. Good work, men.
We will be looking at the short story 'Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl tomorrow. Good tale. But it is not what you would expect form Roald Dahl, the man who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG and a host of other fun stories. This one is a murder mystery. But what is so ironic about it? We'll find out.
As we read and discuss the story, we will be looking at characters and themes. We will spend a bit of time summarizing the main plot points and we'll keep an eye open for some figurative language as well. This will be good practice for next week's Acuity test, the ISTEP test you will be taking in a few weeks and your own project you are completing with your fiction book.
I'll be collecting everyone's reading plan tomorrow and posting them on the board. Be sure you are reading your book.
See you soon.
