HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:
Sample journal on "Miriam."
IN CLASS TODAY:
I returned journals and quizzes from the Count of Monte Cristo unit. The lowest reading quiz score each quarter will be dropped.
We reviewed a sample journal entry on "Miriam." This is a model for you to use on all subsequent journal entries.
We spoke about the journal entries thus far and about the 12-sentence paragraph in general--what are you comfortable doing and what poses problems?
We discussed if Miriam is a flat or round character, and if she is a dynamic or static character, and we generated a list of dominant character traits for both Mrs. Miller and Miriam.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
Write a journal on the following prompt: Why does Miriam break the vase and why does Mrs. Miller allow the moment to pass without a word? You should use your understanding of both Miriam and Mrs. Miller's dominant traits to inform your answer, and the sample journal entry provided to you as a model for how in depth your final product should be.
