First, second, and seventh periods practiced their parts from Anne Frank.  First and seventh periods also worked on using context to determine a word’s meaning.

Fourth period completed work with tone. After writing a description of walking a dog with a prescribed tone, students read their work to the class and the audience had to identify the tone. We wrapped everything up by looking at the specific details that indicated the writer’s tone.

Homework

• First and seventh periods:
  • complete the pre-reading exercise (from class);
  • review your part.
• Second period: complete character/conflict chart.
• Fourth period: read through the “Tone” side of the “Tone/Mood Words” handout and make a list of all the stems you recognize. (It’s not necessary to know the meaning in order to list the stem; you simply have to recognize it as a stem, perhaps thinking to yourself, “What does that mean?”)
