SENIORS: We did a 10-minute quickwrite, this time with a focus: Write about a nasty bathroom; keep the language appropriate.  Then we got into groups and shared the writing we did yesterday, looking for concrete and significant details.  We finished by writing the following: create a character who hates spaghetti but is given a plate full of spaghetti to eat.  The trick is to show the reader that the character hates spaghetti without saying, "Joe hated spaghetti."

SOPHOMORES: We charted "Two Friends" for setting, time manipulation, character motivation and action; we will be relating these ideas to theme tomorrow (along with symbolism).  Your HW is to finish the chart.
