"Zebra" (Character Motivation and Making Inferences"

Today we finally finished "The Outsiders"!  WOOooo HOOooo!

Next I passed back your Outsiders quiz (short/from the beginning of the year), The Outsiders Test (recently), and your Eulogy paper.  We discussed answers.  Most importantly I discussed my comments with you.  My comments ARE IMPORTANT!  If you don't understand what I mean or can't understand my writing: PLEASE ASK ME!  I love teaching and discussing with my students; this is a pleasant process and NOTHING to be scared of at all :)

Finally we began our new story "Zebra" by Chaim Potok.  You added two new definitions to your notebook: motivation and inferences.

Homework:
Define the following words: exuberantly, intricate, menacing, encrusted, gaunt in your literature notebook.
