Be safe tonight. We will continue to work on the essay next week. Get a head start if you have some good ideas.
Today we had four people give their chapter summaries. Hopefully the discussions were helpful. I have posted the essay on the assignments tab. I decided to go with a regular ol' essay not a guided paragraph.
We had a brief that turned into a long lesson on symbolism. Then we heard from our group leaders in the literacy circles. Keep reading and prepping for the day's chapters.
Today we had a brief lesson on the structure of Pi and how this helps us understand the story and themes. Tomorrow is the authors visit and then back to work on Wednesday. Please come prepared for the discussion by having read the chapters assigned. Make some notes and ask some questions.
It was great to meet some of your parents.
We are done with Part 1 of the novel and are moving on to Part 2 next week. Keep reading and taking notes as you go. Good luck with your journals. They are due on Thursday!! Thank you to those who met the deadline today. To those who didn't just remember it is 5% per day for 5 days and then up to 50%. Remember to show me your finished rough draft ASAP so you don't lose marks.
