This morning we began with Morgan’s spelling test. She scored a 14/20
missing words including ubiquitous, relevancy, and irreconcilable. Next, we finished the notes on figurative language that we started yesterday. For each slide we discussed the topic and Morgan copied the information. The concepts we discussed today included imagery, symbolism, oxymoron, and allusion. Lastly, Morgan answered the comprehension and analysis questions for chapter 12 in The Hiding Place. This was a very involved chapter as the characters were moved from the prison in Holland to a quarantine center, then to a concentration camp, and sadly to their greatest fear, on to Germany. We then began reading chapter 13, which began to describe the excruciating trip and arrival at what was called an extermination camp. We discussed what we pictured for the events being described.
