September 15 Lesson

   
Bell Work #12. The analysis of "The Storm" will be checked. Students will then RAFT a writing in relation to "The Storm". We will review the analysis guide to be sure we have a clear understanding of the 14 elements. Thursday we will have a test over analyzing a short story for the elements of fiction as we have studied them to this point. (R=Janet) (A=Ben) (F=short personal note) (T="I'm leaving you!") Assuming Ben is guilty, what conclusions can we draw that will support Janet's position to leave Ben?
