Freshmen - September 10 and 11, 2008

During our block days this week, we began our vocabulary presentations on vocab words from Lord of the Flies. We continued work on the importance of style and setting in the novel - we analyzed some quotes and discussed Golding's use of imagery and the five senses in his descriptions. We also made some relief maps of the island, which will be used for a future activity, and had some independent reading time. View the assignment here. Please read through Chapter 6 by Friday - there will be a quiz next week.

If you were absent during block day, please see me for copies of the vocab presentation so you can put them on your flashcards.
