It was a quick day today! In our novel studies, now that we are familiar with characters, we are starting to take a look at how character moves plot. How does the author manipulate characters to make them affect the plot and keep the story moving? Students will start to annotate their books with "CMP" to show the places where a character's decision or thought affects the plot (without this action, the story would be different).
It is SUPER important that you stay on track with your reading. Make sure you are looking at your timelines. I am running a flipped classroom with reading, which means you do the reading at home and the analysis at school about what you have read.
Students: Make sure you have your Elements of Literature book at home for eLearning! PHM will post the eLearning on the PHM website on the 2nd snow day. The first snow day already has a built in make up day.
