Language Arts 10-18-13

Language Arts

Princeton, Yale & Harvard:
We completed a journal entry:
  "Power" -- list examples of who had the power in The Hunger Games, how they attained it, did they hold it?
We reviewed Chapter 26; did an exercise paraphrasing and examining the key idea in 26 that "the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games was about to begin."
We read Chapter 27 together in class.
Some classes had the opportunity to continue the movie.
We graded Simple Solutions #21.
I collected 3 steps and any outstanding papers on The Hunger Games.
Homework:
"Catch up weekend" -- review your journal -- your should have between 8 and 10 completed journal entries; collection of journals for a grade will be next week.
Simple Solutions #22
Begin thinking of the three most important changes from the book to the movie and whether you think those had a positive or negative effect on the story.

Author's Study on Suzanne Collins will be due on Wednesday, October 23rd.
