English 9, Tues. Oct. 14

On Friday, we completed a VENN diagram comparing and contrasting John and Lorraine. We created a thesis statement for the two teens:

Both John and Lorraine exhibit rebellious tendencies; however, John uses his defiance to get attention from his parents; whereas, Lorraine acts conspiratorially in order to fit in.

Today, Tuesday, we will write a paragraph, using evidence from the text and inferences to expand upon the evidence to prove that statement.

When we finish, we'll read chapters five and six and post-it note key parts which reveal parents acting negatively. We'll also post-it note passages which begin to reveal Mr. Pignati's character.

Bring a rough draft of the paragraph to class for editing tomorrow. Keep studying your vocabulary.
Quiz coming soon.
