GT and I discussed the section of the book that he had read for homework. We discussed: the rising action, the climax, the falling action and the resolution. We also discussed in great detail the ending and the epilogue of the book. We watched the first part of the film of the book. I then discussed the structure of a comparison/ contrast essay. We discussed the two different forms of organization: flip flop and block. We then discussed how GT will structure a comparison/contrast essay comparing the novel and the film. We began to compose the thesis statement and the introduction. GT will watch the rest of the film for homework noting the similarities and differences to include in his essay.
