GT and I began a new unit in his vocabulary book. I introduced the words, pronunciations and the meanings. We studied all 20 words, and we completed most of the individual application activities. We then discussed the pages of the novel GT had read for homework. We discussed the imagery used by the author. We also discussed the different themes woven throughout. We also discussed how the author provided positive and negative connotations to the same objects. GT also wrote his response to the essay assessment of Part 2 of the novel. He will finish reading Part 3 for homework today.
