We used four assigned study guide questions to structure today's lesson. Jaydn answered questions on theme and symbolism ,specifically Algernon as a symbol for Charlie Gordon. After Jaydn completed her written work, we shared her screen and discussed ways to supplement her answers. I further addressed the proper use of the pronouns "him/he" in the context of her answers. While revising her answers we addressed word choice by discussing the connotations and definitions of the words: remorse, sadness, and empathy . Last, I began instruction on how to write a literary essay by providing a prompt and then modeling an introductory paragraph.
