How do memories shape and enrich our characters?
Objective: Students will interpret the impact of literary flashbacks.
1. Word of the Day #21: eccentric
2. Language Lab #17 (Write two sentences of your own about a character from Speak. Then add a introductory phrase to each. Remember the comma.)
3. As a class, we read and discussed p. 49-65 of Speak.
4. In small groups, we discussed our "destiny words," updating our lists (on Writer's Notebook p. 20) and discussing the words' significance to the story.
5. Writer's Notebook #23
6. We began reading p. 66-74 of Speak, paying particular attention to Melinda's memories.
For next time: No homework.
