English 9, Mon. Feb. 14

Happy Valentine's Day!
We read for 15 min. and wrote for 15 min. Next, we completed our Mon. vocab. quiz. This week we tackled # 1-16! Keep studying.

We are now reading the story, "Penny in the Dust," by Ernest Buckler. Discuss what the dusty penny means to the father and to the son. Tomorrow, we'll create two what? / so what? charts to explore our answers. For now, post-it note, everything you can find in the story about the penny and what it symbolizes. We'll be writing a paragraph on this story, soon.


Tomorrow, we'll be revising our father paragraphs on the story, "The Father."

Finish reading and post-it noting the story for Tues. Come ready to share your ideas about what the penny means and what the dust means.

Also: SHELFARI--make sure you have added your current books to your shelf and go to my shelfari page and join our group.
