We spoke about "paying taxes" and how that applies to the novel.
Students then had 20 minutes to complete the backside of the sheet we did last day (the exercise where we listed all the rules that have to be followed). Here is what the assignment is: Pretend that some or all of the rules your group listed on Handout 4 have been abolished. Imagine that you are a stranger who is walking past the school. you hear a great deal of noise coming from the inside of the school and begin to get a little curious. Write a description of one or more paragraphs in which you (the stranger) describe what you experience. Remember to use all the tips I've given you about creative writing!
This writing was handed in at the end of class.
Homework: be prepared for a quiz on chapters 4-6 next day. Prepare for the Ceremony of Twelve which will take place in Monday's class.
