We are now well into our third week of school and in full swing. We have finished reading "The Necklace" by Guy De Maupassant, the story of Madame Mathilde Loisel and her overwhelming desire to be accepted into Parisian aristocracy (or at least look like she does). We are now exploring the dark side in Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart."
In our writing section we have delved into the art of descriptive writing by focusing on brief moments in time. Each student has selected a busy location (airport, hospital, public pool) and recreated the sights, smells, and sounds through writing. We did a similar exercise with creating characters and the students' works were SO IMPRESSIVE!
The learning and creating is happening daily and I can't wait to see how everyone develops.
PLEASE REMEMBER: VOCAB QUIZ ON FRIDAY! :)
it would be nice to have all the documents posted.I like to be able to study on-line.
