Today we went over Chapter 10 in class and discussed the various symbols in it. The mad dog represents racism or the disease of racism and how it can make normal people go "insane". Atticus shows courage to destroy the dog. Then I handed out the worksheets on the PEE model. This is what will be expected from now on for all expository writing. We did a short example on the overhead of "What is the mad dog sybolic of?" and a second "What is the fire at Miss Maudie's symbolic of?" to practice the PEE method. These sheets are on my website on the handouts link under writing. There is a test tomorrow on Chapters 1-7 characters and setting only. Very easy.
Please remember that Thursdays are "redo" days for quizzes and this is the last one before the end of the term. The cut off date for all NHI work including Things Fall Apart is Friday.
Here's a little bonus. It should be quite easy. You can play 2 times for 2 points, 48 hours.
