Abby and I finished discussing the short story "The Rocking Horse Winner". I assigned her to write a one paragraph response to one of the discussion questions using textual evidence. We then reviewed her pre-test on Literary Terms. She corrected the ones she missed and we discussed any questions that she had. We finished our hour by beginning to watch a biographical documentary on Edgar Allan Poe. As we watched, Abby was to write down five take aways from the presentation.
