Frida's Day

Learning Goal: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says and to help determine theme (main idea) and the author's purpose in writing the text.  

Objective: Students will be able to write a summary of the text along with descriptions of characters and a symbol as the first step in determining meaning in Night or Farewell Manzanar.

Today, we are going to review the sentence corrections that you made yesterday (on the board) and discuss them.  We will then try another batch of sentences.  Finally, in your groups you will begin reading 71-80.  Note: I've read all your journals (some of you are behind) - make sure you are not only giving the summary, but listing the part of plot, literary elements and characters found within the pages you are writing about.
