English/Lit 7

English --
We continued working on thesis statements--what they are and how to create a solid, meaningful statement. The students worked on an assignment called "Practice with thesis statements." If this assignment was not completed in class, it IS homework.

Literature --
As we finish Freak the Mighty we are going to learn about symbols and theme. Today we started with symbols. The students were working together on an assignment where they identified what many different items and colors in our every day lives could possibly symbolize.
