May 9

Students used the first 25 minutes of class to read, annotate, and respond to today's article of the week then read independently.

Today's article: "Sri Lanka Bombings: Police Warned that Churches Were Targets"

We discussed character archetypes that we found in "The Scarlet Ibis." We then looked for situational and symbolic archetypes in the story. 

I briefly introduced the next major grade, and students brainstormed with their groups to come up with a common theme for 2 different texts. We'll go into more depth on this assignment tomorrow.
