Papers Due & More on being able to be descriptive

We turned in the final drafts of the narratives along with all the prework, rough drafts, and a self-evaluation worksheet (that was bellwork).

All students got a grading sheet and a letter to take home to their parent/guardian.

We also read and discuss the poem "Touch" by Terrance Hayes before spending some time writing about how it compares to To Kil A Mockingbird.

Homework: Finish the novel and write 3 paragraphs (one each on three different chapters) about parts that interested you or that you thought connected to real life. Use details to make your point clear and descriptive.
