Today we reviewed cliches and proverbs. Then we spend a bit of time chatting about Canadian dialect. Students handed in their sheets on cliches, proverbs, and dialect.
We began reading the novel The Chrysalids.
Right away someone mentioned that they thought the novel may be dystopian. We discussed the terms utopia, dystopia. We finished reading chapter 1.
Students had another hour to work on their short story assignment from before spring break.
