8th Grade--5/13

Today we began class by discussing our science fiction book group novels. After that, we met as a full group to discuss the idea of good and evil as it pertained to "Infestation" by Garth Nix. As a class, we clarified the very cryptic conclusion to the story, and also discussed whether the narrator sees himself as being good or evil.

I collected final drafts of Book Thief essays today, but if you did not turn your in, I will still accept it on Monday without docking points. Why? Call it temporary insanity. Just be sure to bring it, as I will not be lenient beyond Monday. Also, I'll pass back your grammar tests on Monday for those of you who didn't check their scores today.

Homework due on Monday:
-Final draft of Book Thief essay (if you failed to submit it today)
-Read "Gun Without a Bang" by Robert Shackley
-Section #4 of sci fi book groups is due (question, too!)

 
Long term due dates:
5/20--Section #5 of sci fi book group is due (question, too!)
5/23--Science Fiction story start is due
