Good Morning!

On Friday we read the short story “The Metaphor” aloud as a class.  For homework you were to complete a “short story summary” which can be found on Sharepoint in the short story folder.

-We will go over the short story summary at the start of class.

-We will work on a Venn diagram with the focus question:  “Compare and Contrast Charlotte’s mother and Ms. Hancock and their influence on Charlotte.”

Resources that we will look at:

*Compare/contrast essays organization, unity and coherence (found in sharepoint in the writing folder.)

*Compare and Contrast: Explanation and Examples

*Semicolons

*incorporating Quotes

* transitional expressions

*compare and contrast essay outline
