Hello! Here's what we're up to today.
Face to Face:
- Silent reading
- Checking in
- Give a number from 1-5: How are you feeling today? 1 is terrible, brutal day, and 5 is among the greatest days of your life.
- If you're comfortable, add another sentence. What's on your mind? Why are you feeling what you're feeling? What are you excited/nervous about?
- Details on Project 1
- Discussion: The sentence for Project 1 is "Freedom comes at a high cost." What does this make you think of? Why?
- Details on Test 1
- Literary Terms (definition and examples found on Lesson Notes document)
- Connotation/Denotation

- Next class: Read "All the Troubles of the World" by Isaac Asimov (short story written in 1958)
