Mon: We discussed themes from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and practiced articulating them as sentences which "do justice to the book." A fine example was provided by Mr. Wenceslao..."Growth and maturation in life occur through experiencing tragedy, joyous occasions, and every day occurrences."
Still another was provided by Ms. Matthews: "Humans can become stronger by enduring and being resilient to trials and tribulations."
Tuesday: Both classes discussed the final chapter of Caged Bird. An old quiz (a copy of which can be found here) was reviewed, and another one is available here.
Wed: Test today!
Thursday: Classes returned The Great Gatsby and checked out Dubliners and Macbeth. Classes received an assignment that is due Monday: prepare a passage from Caged Bird, with two guiding questions.
Friday: Classes discussed an extract from chapter 6 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, then listened to a recorded commentary on the same passage.
