Learning about plot and character and plot reflection...

6th: Today we began class with verb practice. Ms. D did her weekly collection of "pages read" this week from students. We looked at plot (what is it?) and plot development and learned new vocabulary such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. Then, we analyzed BWWF for these aspects of plot. Mr. H presented some real-life historical facts about Trujillo and then we read part of chapter 7 of the book together.
Homework: Read and record. Book check on Monday. Be sure you have your independent reading book!

7th: Today we began class by recapping the plot of The Breadwinner. Ms. D did her weekly collection of "pages read" this week from students. We analyzed Parvana's character in the final 2 chapters of the book and then some of our essay contest students shared out their essays.
