I gave Hunter a notebook today to keep notes of our classwork and of our class discussions. I will instruct Hunter what to write in the notebook. While I have not yet drafted any tests for Hunter, I let him know that I would try to use an open notebook policy for some of the tests and that the notebook would be of great assistance in completing the course.
We continued reviewing imagery in the opening passage of Steinbeck's The Pearl. Hunter identified descriptive adjectives and images and then in the notebook wrote down the noun described, the descriptive phrases and adjective, and the type of imagery-sound or sight. Next, we will work on his writing a descriptive paragraph of a place in Costa Rica that he has visited.
