First and seventh periods had a quiz on vocabulary and did some reading.

Second period did some group work and class discussion to prepare for the test on The Giver, which is on Monday.

Fourth period went over coincidences in Great Expectations. I tried to impress upon students the fact that GE depends much less on coincidence than Dickens’ other novels.

Homework

• First and seventh periods: complete The Glory Field through page 267.
• Second period: prepare for test.
• Fourth period: read chapters 52 and 53.
