Today students learned about "theme." We defined it and looked at examples, and then they discussed the theme of their novels in novel groups. After that, they did a group project with illustrations proving that theme exists throughout their novel.
H/W: We will be starting out "Literary Essay - Argument" writing unit tomorrow. To prepare for this:
- Come in tomorrow with a topic about which you have an opinion and strong feelings.
- Write the topic on a piece pf paper or in your agenda.
- Make a list of three bullets which show the reasons why your opinion is correct.
- You may bring outside resources (magazine article, book) to use as a resource. This is not required. The resource must be reliable and valid.
I look forward to seeing some of you at conferences tonight!
