There will be a short student response for you to complete as homework. Click here if you've lost your copy of the AOW. We're going to have a lesson on characterization and theme using a short story by Gary Soto. You'll be expected to show your understanding of both skills by the end of the week.

I'll be posting assignments and things you'll need to know on this page. Please check it weekly. I'll have your assignments here and often a copy of the handouts given to you in class. You will find most everything you'll need. I'm going to give this my best, I'm pretty 'old school' but I will prove you can teach an old dog new tricks....Wait! Did I just call myself an old dog? Noooooo! that's just a idiom. We'll be using a lot of figurative language in this class.
