ELA B30: May 23 “Escape” ending and paragraph assignment…
- We continued reading to the end of the short story “Escape” and soon after wrote comparisons on the board the students generated. They wrote down the similarities between this short story and the novel, Animal Farm, they have just finished reading. There are some striking similarities, mainly focused on the idea that the animals, like the main character of the story, were given a sense of freedom they had not had before even though it was short-lived.
- Students were then given the task of writing a formal paragraph with two integrated quotes, one from Animal Farm and the other from the story “Escape”. We haven’t done any formal writing for several months and with the departmental exam looming in a month or so we want to start getting back into shape. Training season begins! 😀
