With only a three-day week ahead of us, I’m skipping DOL for the week (typically four days on a sheet). We will, however, still learn a new idiom and have a quote for each day.
Today, we spent quite a bit of time just talking about the first two chapters of Big Mouth and Ugly Girl. We talked about the point of view, the setting, how the two characters are characterized, and some specific language issues (like why Ugly Girl and Boring Fact are capitalized.) I hope we can have some further discussions on how we build up emotional walls and barriers to “protect” ourselves…just like Ursula does in the book.
Homework for tomorrow: Read chps. 3 an 4 and be ready to discuss them.
Reminder/clarification: Vocab quiz 3 on Wednesday.
