English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen defined and gave examples of symbol.

Period 1 freshmen, you began a new story today, “The Scarlet Ibis”, but the real news was the election. You completed before reading notes (author’s notes, Building Background, Literary Focus and examples, Writer’s Notebook) for the story, and we spent a good amount of time talking about voting and the implications of this election.

I encourage you to watch one of the major news networks tonight: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, or FOX. I also encourage to to try the NewsHour and NPR. I might tune into them all for a bit just to see how they balance their coverage and to experience different perspectives. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t choose to be uninformed.

Check your class page for homework details, and I’ll see you on Thursday.
