First period worked on symbols and symbolism. We looked at the apple as a symbol of shame from the story of the Garden of Eden to its role in The Giver. Second and sixth periods had a quick review of  character types before applying the knowledge to “Raymond’s Run,” which we read yesterday. Fourth period almost finished up sentence types.

Homework
