English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen assessed and proposed themes for two short stories.

First freshmen, you began today by completing the vocabulary activity in your texts and then we moved to a discussion of theme. I reminded you what theme isn’t: a word or phrase, a proverb, moral, or lesson, et cetera. I gave you the definition of motif and we talked about examples in the room, and we talked over how motif can be used to discover and inform theme. Then you proposed your own themes for our most recent stories.

I also handed out grade reports at the end of class, which please plenty of you.

Remember to print and bring two templates to class next.
