Today, while you were taking a quiz over LOTF chapter 10, I checked off that you completed pages 58 and 59 in your SpringBoard books, then we had a few minutes to talk about Ralph and Piggy and how messed up these boys have really become.

Sorry I wasn't with you today. Alas, I was home sick. But I know that Ms. Wooley held down the fort and you discussed the SpringBoard homework and dug in to LOTF Ch. 7 a bit.
Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow and we'll pick up from there.

Today we reviewed the "Coming of Age" theme that you were asked to think and write about in SpringBoard Activity 1.10. We discussed (from your homework) how "First Love" is a coming of age story, and also how "Always Running," the "Cut" selections and LOTF are coming of age stories as well. We compared and contrasted the ideas and "lessons" that these stories have presented.
At the end of the period I collected the "mock interviews" you created for the narrator of First Love (1.10, #3) and for a character in LOTF (1.10, #4)-- these were assigned and begun in class on Monday.
HW: For tomorrow, read Chapter 6 in LOTF and continue working on your double entry notes.
