Sections 2 and 3 are on schedule...not section 1.

Homework:
Sections 2 and 3 
       They should have their final draft of their conflict analysis in on Friday.

       I am thinking about having a literary terms quiz on Friday.  We will see what we get done tomorrow.

Section 1 has no homework. Today we spent most of the period scheduling for the activity period.  .


Requirements for the conflict analysis piece in sections 2 and 3:
  • Must have seven literary terms (see below) bolded or underlined.
  • Length should be between 300 and 500 words.
  • Use size 12 font in Times New Roman with normal margins.
  • The piece should start with a clear point that will be proven with examples from the text.
  • The piece should end smoothly.
