Objective: today, we will review the test answers, preview test for Wednesday and continue to work on grammar skills. Each group will have a choice of a project, due at end of class, to be used as a review of DG for Wed test. Best projects to be displayed in the hallway.

Warm -up

1. There, Their or They're or parts of speech

2. Final review of DG.

3. Choice of group project:

a. Prepare an illustrated map of the chase around Ship-Trap Island. Before you start, brainstorm all of the features of the islandthat you want to locate. Include geological features (jungle, crags,cliffs, etc) as well as man -made features ( traps, chateau, etc). Refer back to the story! Be as neat and as detailed as possible.

b. Illustrate one scene from the story. Carefully and neatly label important components. Write a short summary explaining the scene ( ON LINE PAPER) to accompany it. BE as detailed as possible!


c. Illustrate each Rainsford and Zaroff. Identify character traits for each and determine those that they share. List at least five for each (total of 15) and creatively incorporate these words into your illustration.

d. If you truly do not want to work within GROUP, you may write a sequel to the story. After Rainsford kills Zaroff and sleeps in his bed, what happens? Write a well thought out essay with clear introduction and conclusion. it should contain 2-3 body paragraphs (between intro and conclusion). Please make sure you write in full sentences, check spelling by using dictionary and use the best possible grammar that you know (so far!)
