I handed out the essay assignment for Huck Finn.  Click here for the assignment.

We talked about how many paragraphs the assignment should be and how to write the thesis statement.

We finished by talking about which characters from literature remind us of Huck Finn.  Some of the characters included:

• Holden Caulfield
• Harry Potter
• Edmund from Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe
• Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird

HOMEWORK:  Continue reading in the novel.  If you are not going to be in class on Thursday, you must register for a Google account.

WHAT’S NEXT:  Google Docs

We took the quiz on “A Modest Proposal”. After they finished, they read the Blake poems on 646-651 and answered questions on a worksheet.

I also distributed an assignment for a Victorian Novel Project.

HOMEWORK: Finish Blake poems and read 622-638 and take ten notes on the reading.

WHAT’S NEXT: A visit to the library to chose novels and begin research on our authors.
