This week, we worked on connotation and descriptive language. We brainstormed and presented SAT-level words full of connotation for each of the three main characters in "Where Have you Gone, Charming Billy?". We also wrote our own creative piece of writing based off of the story, from a choice of prompts. Prior to reading our novel and in preparation for the end-of-course benchmark test, we looped back and practiced close reading strategies. In particular, we focused on annotating text as we read. We then answered SOL-style questions based on the selected reading passage. We then participated in anticipatory writings and discussion for our new novel, Unwind. We began reading the novel in class.
