We handed in our paragraphs from last day (still need one from Skyler, River, Wes, Kim, Lena, Alex, Lisa).
We wrote down the definition of foreshadowing and discussed examples from The Blue Bead.
Students wrote an inclass paragraph in which they discussed the following writing prompt: Women are not strong enough to work construction jobs (students were able to agree, disagree, give examples, and explain their thoughts).
We learned the difference between heroin, heroine, and hero.
We shared our thoughts and then read the poem "Think Like a Weightlifter". We discussed at length the terms sexism, stereotypes, and prejudice. I gave oral questions to students and they answered orally.
We discussed our Sightlines 9 test which we will have next Wednesday. We wrote down an outline on what will be on the test.
We ended the class by reading "The Open Window" from p.22 of our textbook. Students then had to complete #2 on p.27 in a short paragraph (this was handed in at the end of class).
