Finish reading Chapter Seven of The Outsiders. Your words are clammy, gingerly, incredulous, nonchalantly, rarities, roguishly, sagely, stocky, resignedly, defiance, contemptuous, sheepish, premonition, ember, and apprehensive.
On Friday, you will have to hand in one acrostic poem of at least nine lines (or two smaller ones adding up to nine lines) which describes the character of one of the characters in the novel. Your acrostic must be made up of complete sentences, not individual words or phrases. You will also have to hand in two extended metaphors like the ones we wrote today in class. You will begin your metaphors like this: "Ponyboy is lion because..." You will have to give three qualities of your animal that are shared by your character.
These acrostic poems and extended metaphors (three items in total) must be handed in on Friday, and must be attractively presented so that I may post them in my classroom.
On Friday, too, there will be a spelling test on the words written, on our side whiteboard. The words are: incident, incredible, influential, inoculated, inseparable, justice, liquid, lacquer, laughter, largely, launder, laundry, liaison, mattress, maximum
