Week of 9/20-9/24

On Monday, we had to write a Quick Write on what we thought would happen in the second part of "The Story of an Hour". Everyone had their own opinions on what would happen. After we finished discussing that, we all got our characterization paragraphs and went over them. On Tuesday, we had independent reading and re-read "The Story of an Hour". On Wednesday, we had another quick write on what our quiz would be like for the next day. We finally got to read the second part of "The Story of an Hour", and talked about it. After that we got to head down to the Book Fair and see what books we were going to read. Also, we saw other books that some of us could be interested in reading. On Thursday, we all took the quiz on quotations. Finally on Friday, we had a Quick Write on what would happen if we all wore the same clothes. We all had different ideas on what would happen. Then, we went over the three forms of irony, which are either dramatic, verbal, or situational. Later, we watched some videos and saw some pictures on irony and had to guess which kind of irony it was. For our homework, each of us got a notecard and we all have to write either a dramatic, verbal, or situational situation.
