Your Last Lesson on Theme

Today's Goal:  Understand and apply the concept of theme in literature through a collaborative application of multiple themes to multiple forms of media.

The Plan: 

1. Read
2. Play (you'll see)
3. Write

Theme: the last lesson you'll ever need. 

I'll post the slides we use later for your enjoyment.

Homework:

• Read House on Mango Street, pages 56-64
• "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark"
• "Born Bad"
• "Elenita, Cards, Palm, Water"
• You have a quiz tomorrow on pages 46-64

BOOK LOVE

You know how you're reading an independent reading book every day in class?

By January 8, 2016, you're going to want to be completely finished with at least one of those independent reading "Book Love" books. 

That gives you about 3 more weeks to complete at least one book of your choosing.
