September 8th -- What Do You Know????

Today you had the opportunity (okay, that's stretching it -- it was a test grade, after all) to show me what you know about short stories.  We read a new story, "Sonata for Harp and Bicycle," which was a mystery story of sorts, full of suspense and romance.  I hope you enjoyed it -- I remember reading this story a long time ago and thinking it was pretty neat.  You answered 18 multiple choice questions dealing with terminology found in the story, and then completed a story map detailing events from the short story.  Story maps are really effective in allowing me to determine if you can find key details of the plot map as you read, and if you are capable of formulating a theme after reading. 


It was a long day for you, I know, and I appreciate all your efforts.  If you were absent today, see me to make this up ASAP.  Friday's very near! :)
