We divided our extra long class today into two parts. The first part focused on reading of "The Book Thief". We looked over the printed version of the text together and discussed the author's language and the power of words, his use of figurative language, present throughout, the omiscient voice of Death narrating, and tone. Hunter wrote down questons - Why did the brother die? During the second part of our class, we discussed his essay and how he can add two more paragraphs to it, do a final edit, and finish it for this marking period. He did some online research, looking to ESPN news and Trump comments, and wrote during class. We discussed different points of view and opposing arguments for additional paragraphs. HOMEWORK: Add two more paragraphs to essay and read more in the book.
