English I students discussed informally in randomly formed groups the question of how the setting of “The Most Dangerous Game” affects the plot. We came up with several ideas:

We’ll be using these ideas to create our first analytic Schaffer paragraphs.

English 8 students finished “The Brave Little Toaster,” a silly story that discusses a serious question. We finished up our first annotation practice, and we will be analyzing the story tomorrow.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: 
  • complete the practice quiz on the courses site;
  • finish number three on the quote-integration practice;
  • re-read (quickly) “The Most Dangerous Game.”
