Tuesday November 12: Homework

Block E: 
Today we learned what the difference is between a THEME and a TOPIC. 
  1. Read and ANNOTATE the chapter from I am Malala. 
  2. Check out this news story about Malala and be ready to talk about it tomorrow. 
  3. Use your notes to develop a THEME that you see between the work of Alexie and the work of Malala. Remember, a theme is not just a word--it is a sentence that captures the central message of a text. 

Block F:
You posed some great questions about the novel today. Our goal is to finish the book by Monday. We will have a Socratic Seminar tomorrow on the section of the text you read over the long weekend. Be sure to bring your notes and annotations to class tomorrow.
Tonight, I'd like you to read the two blog entries listed below. They are from an author and blogger named Allie Brosh. She has been living with depression and she has a very compelling way of exploring the challenges that people face. Read the two blog entries and write a  SPA paragraph to answer the following question for homework:


How do Allie Brosh's blog entries help us to understand Ma's perspective? 
Use details from both the novel and the blog to support your ideas. 

Block A: 
Make an entry in your Smash Book tonight. Choose a topic and find an artifact to attach.
