Today we completed a 10 minute/10 line timed writing to summarize the short story "The Great Rat Hunt" and check whether they read the story. It will count as a quiz. Frequent reading checks such as this will occur throughout the year to ensure that students are reading so they can participate fully in classroom disucssions. Then we reviewed some literary terms (see attached powerpoint) and broke into small groups to analyze the story. .Link to HW: Study for vocabulary quiz on "The Great Rat Hunt."
