Ms. Egbert's Class Blog: August 26-30: 9th Grade Lit and Comp

This Week: This week, we will continue our study of short stories with a focus on imagery and figurative language. We will also look at how the short story structure relates to animated narratives. The Unit 2 Vocab Quiz is this Friday, August 30.

**If you did not turn in your character map for "The Most Dangerous Game" on Monday, you may turn it in at the beginning of class on Tuesday, August 27. Assignment and a link to the story are on last week's blog post.**

Online access for Vocab Book: (<--- this is the link)

If you purchased a vocab book, I gave you a purple sheet with your account information for the online resources. This is a wonderful resource to use to study vocab words, and I will also be using it to assign vocab homework (Choosing the Right Word and Completing the Sentence) for each unit. For this unit, please do the homework assignments online - they are due by Friday, August 30 at 8:20 AM. If you have problems accessing the online book, please email me or contact me through Remind, and do the homework in the book and turn your book at the beginning of class before the quiz on Friday.

**Please keep track of your reading guides for all the stories we read this unit - they will be due on the day of the test (currently scheduled for Thursday, September 19, but subject to change). If you need an extra, all assignments are linked on this blog and there are a limited supply of extras in the black binder labeled for your class in my room.**
