SENIORS: Today's notebook response is as follows: Pretend you woke up this morning as your favorite animal.  Describe your day from the moment you arise to the time you go to bed, all from the animal's perspective (or point of view--p.o.v.)  Use all 5 of your senses.
     When you finish, pick an opposite type animal and write the same sequence of events.  By opposite I mean, if you wrote about an elephant the first time, change things up and write about an ant or a lion or some other animal that isn't big and slow.  If you wrote about a bunny the first time, try writing from an eagle's perspective or an animal that isn't cute and docile.  Again, use all 5 of your senses.

SOPHOMORES: Today's CAHSEE practice is titled Out of the Woods.  In your notebook, respond to this question: Based on characters in the story, what is Pirandello trying to tell us about human nature in times of despair? (Use the following frame to start your answer: People tend to...)  Also, the class worked in groups of 3 to chart the literary devices of Setting, Characterization, Symbolism, and Irony to determine how these literary devices reveal the theme of WAR.  We did not finish the charting, so that will be completed tomorrow.
     Don't forget that you have homework due on Tues., Feb. 21.  The homework is to create a logograph for each vocabulary word on the Vocabulary Warm-up handout.
