English I students began the second analytic short story writing project today by thinking a bit about perspective and point of view (“Where you stand determines what you see.”), which we accomplished with an odd-looking exercise.

Later, we went through the model selection for the next writing assignment, “In the Family.”

English 8 began looking at voice in Nightjohn, thinking about how Gary Paulsen manages to create a narrator in the novel that actually sounds like a slave.

Homework

• English 8: work on AOW as necessary.
• English I Honors: 
  • read all the feedback from the “Dangerous Game” writing workshop;
  • re-read “In the Family”;
  • make notes about what specifically in the story confuses you.
