9th Grade Lit and Comp AND 10th Grade World Lit: Thursday, April 30, 2020

Good morning!

Flying (class) | Harry Potter Wiki | Fandom

In our chapter from Tuesday, Harry started his school year (kind of crazy to think about since we're nearing the end to ours right now!). Today, we're going to get an introduction to a few more of his magical subjects and witness the growing rivalry between Harry and the Slytherin first-years, lead by Draco Malfoy. We're also going to get our first glimpse of the third floor corridor that Dumbledore warned the students about during the opening feast. Again, we're going to be looking through the Historical Lens to learn more about some of the allusions that J.K. Rowling includes in her novel.

TO DO FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 29:
  1. Read Chapter 9
    • This is a link to the ebook
    • This is a link to the audiobook (you do not need an account to listen)
    • Note: The audiobook is for the British version of the book, so the title is different and some words might be different if you are following along on the PDF. However, Stephen Fry (the narrator) is an amazing reader, and I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.
  2. Complete the Historical Lens Form for Chapter 9
    • Read the chapter slowly and deliberately.
As always, I am available via email and through Remind. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need me. 😊
