Pa Sexton

Learning Goal: Analyze how complex characters develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop a theme.

 

Today, you will continue to read "The Split Cherry Tree" in your groups and keep a list of character descriptions, descriptions of the farm, school, country, and examples of simile, metaphor and dialect. 

For homework, you will write a blog entry (of at least two paragraphs) that discuss how Pa Sexton changes over the course of the story and how develops a the main idea (the theme) of the story.

We also have new vocabulary.
