8th Grade--9/21

Today we discussed Of Mice and Men, focusing on the following questions...


1.     Locate at least one moment of foreshadowing, and explain what it could potentially be foreshadowing. Why might Steinbeck have included this?

2.     Compare and contrast the two dogs in this chapter. How are they different? Why might Steinbeck have chosen to include them?

3.     Defend Steinbeck’s decision to not give Curley’s wife a name. As an author, why do you think he made this decision? What does it add to the story?


We also took a reading quiz, turned in the second draft of our This I Believe essays, and checked in our grammar homework.

Due tomorrow...

Long term deadlines...
