Dec 8

Today we completed a bell ringer in order to study for the literature test. After taking the test, we read part of the introduction to Winesburg, Ohio and also the first story, "The Book of the Grotesques." For FRIDAY, you need to have the first 44 pages read. For each story, you need to write what the "truth" is and three specific details that support your theory. Tomorrow, Unit 14 sentences are due!
