Language Arts 10-28-13

Princeton & Yale, Harvard:
Today we corrected Simple Solutions #25;  we copied down & reviewed rules for underlining names of books, magazines, etc. and putting names of articles in quotes.  We received all our graded papers back and checked grade sheets and missing assignment sheets.
We read another of Robert Frost's poems, "Nothing Gold Can Stay," and analyzed it explaining its meaning and its theme.  We examined our 5 paragraph essays comparing The Hunger Games movie and book.  Rewrites are due Wednesday
Homework:  Simple Solutions 26, Rewrite into a final copy your essay (type it or write it skipping lines).  Read your Science Fiction novel. 

Harvard also read their self-written poems that focused on one of the theme topics from The Hunger Games.  Final copies should be ready  by Monday, November 4th.

Tomorrow we'll go over our figurative language packets.
