This week in English, we continued working in the Themes anthology textbook. Students completed a paired reading activity, analyzing two pieces of poetry and identifying the theme in each. We also read a short story, "The All-American Slurp." Students were able to identify tone in a piece of writing and consider how that impacts the reader's perception of the characters in the story. Students should be regularly reading their independent reading novels. The due date for the independent reading essay has been moved to Tuesday, October 18. Next week we will work on planning the written essay and preparing the rough draft. We will also be administering the RI, Reading Inventory, formerly the SRI.
