Sixth Class: Introduction to Characterization (Period 7 on Tuesday)

Students wrote a half a page in response to a prompt about chapter five of The House on Mango Street, "Cathy Queen of Cats".

For a devotional thought, Mr. Stone discussed William James' statement, "If you want a quality, act as if you already have it."

Students took a quiz over Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Red-head League" and completed a worksheet over selected vocabulary from the story.

Students took notes on terms related to characters and characterization.

Most periods began brainstorming in small groups about their own idea for a mystery.

Homework: Review chapter six of The House on Mango Street and read "Blues Ain't No Mockingbird" (570-576).
