Josh and I completed our reading assignment "Climbing the Golden Arches." Afterwards, I had Josh recount (while citing evidence) some of the key transitional points in the narrative: "Where does the story transition from different phases of the narrator's work experience to the next?" "Who is the narrator by the end of the story?" "If the narrator did not explain that she was learning and maturing along the way, how would this affect the narrative?". Josh did an excellent job of answering these questions, although he needed to be refocused from "Family Guy" references during our discussions. After discussing the story at length, we moved on to writing, and I asked Josh to write a story about a work experience that he had, organizing his experience into different "phases" much like the narrator from "Climbing the Golden Arches."
