We did two new words today: officious and ebullience.
We added / reviewed three new literary terms: plot, theme, juxtaposition and pathetic fallacy. Make sure you know all five words/terms and can define them in your own words.
We noted key words that were creating mood in chapter one: scar, snake, witch-like, the weight of his clothes, skull-like coconuts,
We made a chart for Ralph and one for Piggy, defining their characteristics
We left off on page 9: " ' We may stay here until we die' " (Golding 9).
We need to read at least 15 pages per day during class. If you are not keeping up, you need to read even more pages at home. Tonight, ensure that you are at least to page 45 in your book. 15 from last night, 30 pages from the last two days.
If the book is not holding your interest by page 45, you probably need a new book.
Go to the library and ask Ms. Wadsworth for recommendations or see me at lunch tomorrow for assistance.
Have a great night!
