Myths, Legends, & Tales:  After discussing "Characterization" and taking notes on the author's 5 methods of revealing characters, we will read three short folktales:  "How Mosquitoes Came to Be," "The Flying Head," and the "Ash Lad Eating Contest w/ a Troll."  Answer the story questions on your own paper.
CIS College Comp:  After we practice ACT questions, we will discuss what a good thesis accomplishes.  We will read "Finishing School" by Maja Anjelou and tomorrow we will form discussion groups and figure out the implied thesis of this selection.  
Speech: After vocab practice, we will read The Last of the Breed read for ten minutes. Then, we will continue writing questions for our "Keep 'Em Talking" interview.
Young Adult Lit:  We will take some notes and discuss Chapters 6-7 in The River.  Then, we will read the novel.  Write a summary of what you read today. It must be at least 5 sentences and it must "cover" what you read.  Be sure you turn in a Summary Page #1 today.
Bible Lit:  We will take a quick group quiz to review last week's important info.  Then, we will take notes on Bible Geography and so a geography search together with a partner.
