--Took our LAST quiz of the book! See me for makeup if absent today.
--Photo assignments were due today, so we did a little "photo art gallery" and walked around to see everyone's pictures. They were lovely!!
--We then did a little quote analysis/discussion activity in small groups. Makeup assignment: Choose one of the following quotes from the novel, and write a 4-5 sentence explanation of how you think the quote relates the novel's main ideas.
• My God!....I do not understand you. I never will. Go, before I too am entangled in your philosophies.
• There is a limit to the achievements of human courage.
• It is so easy to be comforting when your own wishes have come true.
• We stared at the cruel sky, calm, blue, indifferent to our need.
--Finally, I gave some additional help and advice on how to a good style analysis and handed back the Passage Analysis Practice paragraphs from last time. If you were gone, be sure to get yours from the Out Box and read my comments.
--Because so many people are going to be gone on Friday, I decided to move the final Nectar test back to next Tuesday, so you have until Tuesday to study your lit. vocab words and make sure you've read the WHOLE book.
--HW: Theme notes are due on Friday, but you should already have done them!!
