Hopefully by the time we meet on Tuesday, the weather will have cooled down some! Fortunately, the weather forecast says that the heat wave will be short-lived. Bring plenty of water, I'll have the fans set to full blast, and we'll make it!
TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Go over examples of narrative essays (1-2 pages). Receive rubric. Type up rough drafts in the computer lab/library. Notes: diction, counterargument. Leave journals in bins in classroom for points.
Due: Add at least 3 instances of imagery and/or figurative language that are original to the interview sheet and bring it with you on Tuesday.
Read the first 10 pages of Chapter 10. Which Joad family member are you or your family like, and why?
5th and 6th - Make sure your journal is filled down an entire page or marked "absent"
for the days you weren't in class. We'll have a journal check where you
leave your journals in the bin in the classroom at the end of the day
on Tuesday.
