English I Honors students worked on planning a Schaffer paragraph based of the topic sentence we came up with yesterday. Here are the ideas they came up with today:

• Third period:
  • TS: You can’t change the point of view from first person because the credibility of the narrator would be compromised through getting C’s pov on the mirror
  • CD1: Clara the only one interacting with mirror “Hey Gus.”
  • CD2: Mom discovers it but doesn’t interact (beginning)
• Fourth period:
  • TS: You can’t change the pov from first person because the story would lose the mystery caused by an unreliable narrator.
  • CD: became less and less certain which side [of the mirror] was life and which reflection
  • CD: sound from which side

English 8 students had a quick lesson in how habits of today can shape their lives much further into the future than they might necessarily imagine. This was precipitated by the fact that so few students completed the short homework assignment from yesterday. Hopefully the thoughts shared were of use to the students.

Homework

• English 8: complete the article of the week as necessary. (You should have your summary almost complete when you walk into class tomorrow.)
• English I Honors: 
  • work on the “Dangerous Game” assessments;
  • read “The Interlopers” for tomorrow.
