English 9, Friday, March 11

We read our USSR books--we're half way through March (almost) so you should be meeting your reading goals. You may need to do some extra reading this weekend.

We added the following vocabulary words:

35. vicariously (adverb) experienced or enjoyed second hand by imagining one's own participation in the experiences of another
      vicarious (adjective) 
Synonyms: second-hand, indirectly, secondary, surrogate, empathically
Sentence: 
36. interrogate (verb)
interrogation (noun)
Synonyms: to question, to quiz, to interview
Sentence:

I collected the stories for the contest. You'll need a cover sheet if you were away. Ask me.

We read chapters 6 and 7 of The Pigman novel. Look for passages that demonstrate the influence of adults on the teens. Positive? Negative? Neutral? Teen reactions?

Post-it note three passages per chapter on your chosen character: John or Lorraine.

Homework: complete your BRAIN collages. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create.
