Today we read “The Jacket” and analyzed it for figurative language. We also did some word work with new vocabulary words from the story. Tomorrow we will discuss “The Jacket” and review for Monday’s test.

Enjoy your evening!

Unit 2 Comprehension Test is on Monday, January 22nd! This will be open book (NOT open note!) about the stories “All Summer in a Day” and “The Jacket”. It will also contain application of identifying and labeling figurative language in a story.  Review prior concepts learned in class as well (point of view, types of conflict, genre, mood/tone, story devices, story vocabulary).

ISN’s will be collected for grading on Wednesday January 24th. Make sure your table of contents is up to date and you don’t have missing notes!
