Today’s class notes from the Promethean Board.

First period went over a review of the use of apostrophes, a common error in Charlie’s writing in “Flowers for Algernon” and a surprisingly common error in students’ writing. (Notes from the board available below.)

Second and fourth periods went over homework, covering foreshadowing and how it works. We discovered three basic principles of foreshadowing.

Sixth period went over symbolism in The Giver (see class notes above).

Seventh period worked on a critical-thinking exercise designed to imitate a potential work situation while formatting the work from yesterday.
