Monday, 1/11

Welcome back!

Announcements
*Prayer updates?
*Daily: complete Root & Grammar Warm-up right away
*1st Semester Final: see me if you would like to review it (FLEX, after or before school)
*Persuasive Essay: in your file if you would like to review or keep it
*Seating Privileges

1. Complete Journal #16; prepare to share it with a partner.

To tell good stories, draw the listener along a single thread and save the juicy stuff for a climactic moment. Don't give it all away at once!
*Share with a partner
*2-3 share with the class

Reading well will help us write well, which is why we will both read and write narratives to start the second semester.

2. Introduce Short Stories & Narrative--download and save "The Most Dangerous Game" into Notability.
*You can find this under "Units of Study."
*Do you know anyone who seems to derive pleasure from manipulating others? How does this feel? How might this feeling be associated with suspense and surprise?
*Begin reading out loud.

HW: Read the handout "Good Reader/Bad Reader" and use it to finish Journal #16
