First and fifth periods worked on the EQ, “How do writers show dialogue in narratives.” We worked on punctuated dialogue and converting screen-play dialogue into narrative dialogue.

Practice from First Period

Second and fourth periods continued with their work on point of view in Great Expectations. We reviewed the issues at stake when changing point of view and then chose an episode from the book that includes Pip and Estella and re-write it from Estella’s point of view. Yesterday’s similar work was merely practice for this important step in understanding one of the most complex characters Dickens ever created.

Homework

• First and fifth periods: none.
• Second and fourth periods:
  • complete Great Expectations through chapter 50;
  • continue working on the Lord of the Flies self-study.
