First Vocabulary Test & Notes for "The Man to Send Rain Clouds"

Monday 3 October 2016 for Periods 1, 2, 5, & 6 and Tuesday 4 October 2016 for Period 7

Students spent the first fifteen minutes of the period reviewing their vocabulary on Membean.

They then took their first twenty-point assessment to be included in the test category of their grade.  Students who are dissatisfied with their results may retake the first vocabulary test during the third or fourth class period of this week, allowing those students a couple of days to study more.

Students then took a quiz over "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" and took notes from the board regarding the story's point of view, setting, conflict, and characters.

Mr. Stone discussed the importance of the cultural milieu in this story and asked students to consider contemporary scenarios that might create a story of cultural conflict.

Homework:  Read Joan Aiken's "Sonata for Harp and Bicycle."
