Greetings Y'all (is that the right placement of the apostrophe, Alyssa?!),
Here is a rundown of this week's extra exciting happenings: Day 15: Tuesday, February 28: In Class: We will begin reading Baroness Orczy's classic adventure novel, The Scarlet Pimpernel set during the French Revolution. We will dive into the background of both Baroness Orczy and the setting of the novel to better understand author's bias, author's purpose, theme and how setting plays an important role in analyzing character motivation. Scholars will be assigned a copy of the novel that they are responsible for and required to bring to and from school every day during the unit. Homework (due on day 16): Study the S.P. Chapter 1 Vocabulary Quizlet either by clicking on the link or studying the words on the glossary handout. Be prepared for a vocab quiz on Thursday. Complete any unfinished questions on the author's biography handout. Day 16: Thursday, March 2: In Class: We will work on chapter 1 vocabulary, read chapter 1 together and answer comprehension questions regarding chapter 1. The focus will be on reading for comprehension, how to infer the setting, plot elements and how the setting effects character motivation. Homework(due day 17): Study S.P. chapters 1 and 2 vocabulary. Read chapter 2 and complete the handout. Enjoy:) Most Sincerely, The English Teacher:)
