Taylor finished reading the short story that we began last week, and completed an activity identifying the work's characteristics and literary devices. I then gave her some contextual information about the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, and she read the first three chapters of the novel while discussing and noting certain characteristics of the narration (narrator, setting, characters, etc.) and new vocabulary terms. She also viewed a clip of the film adaptation of "Rebecca" (Hitchcock, 1940), which we will revisit after Taylor has finished reading the novel.
