Today, I reviewed how to write a summary successfully. While the students received notes on this earlier (a handout), they needed help connecting the outcomes of it to the summary they submitted. The notes about how to write a summary are linked on this page (below).
Summary Notes
I also introduced the writer, Leo Tolstoy. Students took brief notes while we examined his biography on the Web. If you were not here, you need to good the author's name and create your own notes about him.
I then introduced the short story "What Men Live By". We also talked about when to use quotation marks (around titles of minor works).
I explained that this story is still examining heroic acts and ideals, but that the characteristics, when compared to the characteristics of an epic hero, have changed. We will start reading this short story on Monday.
