1st Block: We discussed what puns are and took a look at the website http://www.punoftheday.com. I then shifted the focus to symbolism. Students defined symbolism and we talked about how symbols are used in short stories. This transitions into the story "La Puerta", a short story about a man living in Mexico who has big dreams of moving to the US to earn more money. Finally, students finished with a writing activity where they demonstrated their knowledge of the five stages of plot.
3rd Block: Since we read the short story "La Puerta" yesterday, students completed the writing activity about the five stages of plot. Students in this block also went to the computer lab for the GRASPS test.
