Period 4: I collected the Temple Grandin paragraphs today.
In both periods we wrote a paragraph in class and read Act 1 of Our Town. We did not do vocabulary today. I handed back the vocabulary quiz and yesterday's notes.
If you were absent today, you will need to do the reading and complete the paragraph at home and bring a note to explain the absence or if you participated in the student walk (with parental permission) write 250 words discussing what happened, who the speakers were, what you feel, any solutions you have etc.
The question is:
Read Act 1, called a Day in the Life, write down 5 quotations which you feel exemplify the little town of Grover's Corners.
Next, write a 250 to 350 word literary paragraph on the question below:
How well do the members of this town appreciate life? Explain using examples from Act 1. When you cite a quote from a play use double quotations only since the entire play is speech, the convention is to not use triple quotation marks to indicate speech.
Underline book titles or italicize if typing.
