Glad to see that all of you are back safely from a great Halloween. I hope you all had fun. But now, it's CRUNCH time. We have our midterm coming up on Monday and we need to prepare ourselves for it.
Today, your Do Now had you recognize the essential elements of annotation--highling important information, such as plot, dialogue, character; circling unknown vocabulary words to better understadn what you're reading; and perhaps the most important of all, making notes in the margins. I really hope all of you do realize that this is an important skill necessary to read literature and be able to analyze it.
We then split off into groups and worked on Chapter 10 of TKAM. This was a thrilling one! Atticus was able to redeem his "boring" self and take the killer shot to save the town from Tim Johnson's rabies. Keep reading to find out how Jem and Scout react to their father's courage.
Tomorrow, I'll be checking your homework and then we'll be reviewing for the exam on Monday.
