I handed back the first set of short story notes, which have a completion grade of ten points. Incomplete notes were given five points, but they may be corrected for the same number of points. I gave a little feedback on specific stories, then gave a short lesson on theme. Four clues to an author's theme(s) or message(s) are: title, motifs, symbols, and theme statements.
Students spent the rest of the period on Ursula LeGuin's "Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction." They created a Works Cited entry for the essay, then read the essay. Students will record characteristics and quotes about the two types of stories in a t-chart: the hero story; the carrier bag story. Notes are due tomorrow; I will assign a grade for them.
Homework: Finish reading LeGuin and create the t-chart
