English 9 Class Notes

Objective: Freshmen drafted an expository paragraph about characters in a short story.

Today, period 1 freshmen, I led you on a highly structured drafting activity in which we explained differences in the characterization of Matilda Loisel and her husband in “The Necklace”. I introduced to you the PIE (point, information, explanation) paragraph, not very different from the paragraph format I introduced you to earlier in the year, but perhaps with a vocabulary that’ll work better for our purposes.

It was a grueling day, and we’re going to put a couple more of these in these few classes. So eat a lot of protein and get some good sleep.

Remember to bring the appropriate documents with you next class, and have a good weekend.
