English 9A (periods 1, 2, and 4): Today we focused on two things - the reading comprehension strategy of visualization, and the literary concepts of setting and tone. We wrote an short analytical piece about the beginning of Chapter 3 of Charlotte's Web (which can be found here: http://ebooks.rahnuma.org/children/Stories/Charlotte_s_Web_.pdf). The assignment can be found on Canvas and should be completed for homework tonight if you didn't submit it during class time. Read for 20 minutes as well.

English 9B (period 3): Today we shared your Ways poems and began focusing on the idea of creative response to art. We looked at a passage from a book that combines poetry and art called Heart to Heart which describes four basic motifs a writer might use when responding to art. We then looked at many poems written about art and decided which motif best described that particular poem. Your task is to choose a work of art that you can eventually write a poem in response to. Read for 20 minutes as well.
