Red Day - May 20th

CP10: In class we took a short quiz over chapters 1-3. Then we discussed themes and motifs emerging in the text so far. We listed them on the board by District, and used those lists in the following writing assignment: Please re-read pages 29 - 33, which detail Katniss’s life-saving interaction with Peeta behind his family’s bakery.  After you have read these pages, re-write the story in Peeta’s point of view.  Your story should accurately reflect the context, be detailed, and be approximately 300-500 words in length. Your story should include a theme and related motif from our class discussion. Hunger Games Reaping Winners of the Day: Sean and Abbey!
Homework: Finish classwork if you have not already done so. Read chapters 4, 5, & 6. Please continue to mark the ELT's we have discussed.

AmLit: In class we spent 7 minutes reflecting on how the additional reading resources have enhanced our individual reading experiences. Then we used the Themes, Motifs, and Symbols in Gatsby document (linked on the blog) to go back and find examples of a chosen item from that list in our books and mark the passages. We'll be using these as we get closer to our final project.
Homework: Complete in class work.
