Reading memoirs

Um, why is there a toothbrush on the blog? 

Goal: Read and compare two memoirs.


Read: 

• You should be almost 1/2 way through the book you started last week. 
• We call this book #1. 
• Remember you'll read two books for this grading period. 
• Your homework is to read. 

When you are absent: 

• It is your responsibility to check the class blog to see what you missed. 
• If you check the blog and still have questions you should ask me. 
• The link to this blog is also on my staff page of the PLHS website. 

Two short memoirs: 
You can read a digital version of these two memoirs HERE.

English Journal: 

1. Open your English Journal. (You bookmarked it yesterday right?)
2. Add a new entry AT THE TOP (But below the line at the top.)
3. Add the date for today. 
4. Write in response to this prompt: 

What do the two stories we just read have in common? What is similar about them? What did you enjoy or not enjoy about each of them? 

Reminders: 
Picture day is tomorrow and Friday. Get your picture taken in room 301 if you do not have a student ID. You need a student ID.
