“The Metaphor” -can be found in the short story folder on sharepoint. We will read this story aloud and discuss.
-when we finish the story, two things we will work on:

*short story summary (also found in the short story folder on sharepoint)
*Venn Diagram: we will work on this during class on Monday. The question for the venn diagram:
“Compare and contrast Charlotte’s mother and Miss Hancock and their influence on Charlotte.”
