Happy Veterans Day!
We spent most of today on writing. We looked at excerpts from the novel where the author was using telling or showing sentences. Hopefully, the students see that using action verbs, figurative language, and good diction can really help create an experience for their readers and make the objects of their description real. The objects of their description in this case are their "terrifying settings," and we'll do some peer reading with those tomorrow.
There was also a quiz on the novel. The questions:
1) What does Tally find out on her 16th birthday?
2) Who are Sol and Ellie?
3) What choice does Tally have?
They're easy question.
By tomorrow, they should be ready to start Part Two of The Uglies by getting to page 135. We really need to pick up the pace with this thing!
