Tonight, read "A Lady's Beaded Bag" and find five new-to-you vocabulary words.  Record these words and their definitions.  Do not answer the questions--we will complete them in class.  I will give a short comprehension quiz on this story tomorrow just to ensure that everyone has read it.

On Friday, we will have a short quiz on commas and semicolons.

On Wednesday of next week, you will have a sight reading test with a short story you have never before read.  I will ask you short paragraph questions on this story concerning such things as characterization, symbol, irony, theme, point of view and the other terms we have covered in this unit.  Make sure that you have all the yellow sheets and that you start reviewing them (Purpose and the Short Story, Plot..., Character..., Symbol and Irony..., Theme..., Point of View....).  Terms we have covered that do not appear on the yellow sheets are allusion, parable, epiphany, infer, imply, connotation, and denotation.

On Friday of next week, you will have the short story unit final test.  I will ask you questions on the terms we have covered and the stories we have read.
