Debates continue. We're getting some really good dialogue. I've been very impressed.
4th Per - 7th Grade:
We finished reading the story by Gary Paulson on pages 252 - 255. Assignment: After reading the story, and thinking about the different ways Paulson characterizes the main boy and girl in the story, draw a colorful picutre of each of them showcasing the ways in which Paulson describes them. Take everything you learned about personification, inference, imagery, etc, and put it into your pictures. These are going on the walls outside my classroom for all to see, so do your best job. The pictures should include the two people and employ lots of color and background to help us figure out what he wants us to see in our minds when we read this story.
5th Per - 12th Grade:
-We begain reading "Paradise Lost" in the text and discussed the rich language and imagery.
-I also showed a series of about 20 pictures by Gregory Doré that help to get inside the mental picture with this story.
-We listened to a song from "Les Miserables" about Jean Val Jean, who has to make the choice of whether he wants to condem a man to prison for something he didn't do to escape jail and physical condemnation but earning eternal damnation for himself, or if he will turn himself in, destroying the lives of hundreds of his factory workers, condemning himself, but gaining salvation for being a righteous man. It's deep and heady stuff! Good times!
6th Per - 10th Grade:
