Monday, September 20

Persuasive essays were due today. Late essays will have their grades adjusted accordingly.

We started our look at the elements of fiction. The elements of fiction are things like plot, character, irony, etc. Today, we are focusing on plot. I introduced Freytag's triangle as a visual representation of plot.

We read the story "The Monkey's Paw" (page 30 of our book). The full text is also available online at
