Literature Assignment (Gold Day):
1. Today we will make/review flash cards for vocabulary from "The Interlopers." These words have been added to the master list for the year. This list can be found at the "Lit Resources" link on this website. Please study all words on the list for the next quiz (to be announced in a later post.) 2. We will watch and discuss the short film adaptation of "The Interlopers" and compare/contrast it with the original. The link can be found at a previous blog post. 3. We will also use some class time to go over the nature poetry test, last week's vocabulary quiz, and the punctuation quiz. If you are working from home and have not taken these yet, please study and be prepared to take them the first day you return. 4. During the remainder of the class, we will begin the novel Tunes for Bears to Dance To. I will distribute the study guide for Chapters 1-3, and we will watch a background film about the author. In the next blog post, I will provide links to the study guide and to scanned pages of the novel. (Be ready! The title of the book does not mean what you might think it means!) Comments are closed.
