SEPTEMBER 10 TH - SEPTEMBER 14TH
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
9TH GRADE ENGLISH

Remember: I won’t be with you on Monday and Tuesday of this week!


Monday, September 10th:

Read the excerpt from Margaret Atwood’s CAT’S EYE. Then do the contrast and compare chart on your CAT’S EYE packet for the characters Elaine, Cordelia and Carol.

Tuesday, September 11th:

We will write a journal about a person who reminds us of one of the characters in CAT’S EYE.

Journal: Write at least one paragraph about someone you know from your life who reminds you of one of the characters from CAT’S EYE. Give a specific example which shows why that person is similar to one of the characters in the story.

We will then read the second installation of CAT’S EYE.

We will then break into groups and work on the chart on page 149 in your handout on how the experience has changed Elaine. What was she like before the hat incident, and how was she changed after the near death experience?

We will then do the point of view exercise on page 151 in your handout. You will become the four characters (Cordelia, Carol, Grace and Elaine) and then write the story from the point of view of each of the four characters.


Wednesday, September 12th:

Today I will be back and I will collect your point of view papers today.

We will also read a cool short story entitled “The Sniper” with a cool little twist at the end.


Thursday, September 13th:

Today, we will go over point of view and rewrite the story from various different povs of the characters.


Friday, September 14th:

Finish up the rewrites and then present to class.

I hope this week we will receive our English grammar books and our vocabulary books. As soon as we do, I will check them out to you.

Have a great week!
