Period 1: We spent time looking at vocabulary for "The Open Boat" and began discussing theme and symbols. HW for this weekend is to find a passage that either develops the theme that nature is indifferent to the plight of man or that uses a symbol (This will be discussed on Tuesday). Be sure to bring IR books on Monday as well.
Period 2, 7, 8: There was a quick reading quiz in class today on "Raymond's Run". After the quiz students spent time investigating the character of Squeaky and how the author created the character's different personality traits.
