Today we continued to focus on making observations, synthesizing these observations into inductions, and then crafting a thesis or claim about the text that we then support with our observations and inductions. Today our focus was on art and music, and we will finish the process tomorrow focusing on film and short story structure. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes and finish up your summer reading assignment.

Hi. Today, Period 2 had to go to a freshman class meeting and didn't have class, but for everyone else, what we did was took a pretest on literary concepts to gauge how much the students know about literature. Some important things to know:
-Your Weekly Reading Grade will begin next week. This is made up of your preparation (bringing a book to class every day) and participation (reading in class from that book and reading from it for 20 minutes a night at home). Over the course of the trimester, this really adds up.
-Your friendly letter about your history as a reader is due on Monday in class. Today we talked about how your audience and your purpose determine everything you do as a writer, so keep these two ideas in mind as you craft your letter.
-Your summer reading assignment is due September 6.
Have a great weekend.
Prediction: Brighton 28, Fremont 3.
