WELCOME TO BLOCK-DAYS (Wednesday and Thursday)
Today, we'll start with a little vocab-baseball to get the ball rolling.
Second, we'll check and share your paragraphs on "what makes a character great."
Thirdly, we'll start our first short story, "All Summer In a Day," a cool little science-fiction that takes place on an alien planet where summer only lasts for one day out of several years. We are going to focus on the characterization in this story.
Homework: Write at least one paragraph (10 sentences minimum) making one of the flat antagonists more round. Rewrite part of the story from that antagonist's point of view, turning them into the protagonist. If you don't finish it in class, finish it at home! Due FRIDAY!
DON'T Forget that your first Vocab post-assessment is FRIDAY as well!
