Today brings both rain showers and a shower of words as students draft final projects connected to their choice novels. Some chose to create a poster showing the arc of the story, identifying exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution as well as the major conflict and themes of the story. Others chose to write an essay on one of five given topics relating to either character, setting, themes, or connections made to the story. Students will work in class on these projects today, tomorrow and Wednesday; they are to finish up for homework to turn in on Friday.
Later in the week, we will continue to hone writing skills by revising answers to questions on "The Fallen Angel." Students are focusing on turning the question into the start of an answer; writing in complete sentences; including adequate supporting detail; using accurate capitalization and punctuation.
