Thursday 9/30 - Lit Book |
1. Journal/Bell-Ringer: (on a separate piece of
paper) One of the reasons Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is so well-respected is
that it is considered to be a great example of realistic fiction. In one
paragraph, support that opinion using at least two examples from the book. Be
sure to have a topic sentence, explain your examples, and have a concluding
sentence. It is ok to just give a paraphrase of your examples with a page
number. (In other words, you don’t have to quote on this one.)
TURN IN WHEN DONE.
