Will did an excellent job on his Chapter Eight homework questions. He only had one error and was able to fix that demonstrating good comprehension. After discussing the actions and symbolism in the novel, he dug into the next literary device that he will be studying which is "irony". He reviewed a power point I created and took notes on the three types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Then, he practiced identifying examples of all three types of irony and explaining why they were a particular kind of irony. He did a wonderful job and understands that author's use irony to provoke the reader into thinking harder and analyzing a situation. Will had a great class today, and he did a wonderful job on his assigned tasks. For homework, Will is going to read and answer questions for Chapter Nine of our novel.
