Activities & Assignments
PP: Discovering Voice

Class will begin with an overall review of the chapters 2-5. What exactly happened in this book so far? The instructor will introduce a few key paragraphs for students to annotate. Is the gold merely gold? What is Silas truly in love with? Is Whirlwind merely a horse? Are they symbols for something.

The class will then Write a detailed paragraph about the most valuable things in their lives. They will describe the items physically, turning them about in their hands and appealing to as many senses as possible just like Silas obsession over his gold.

Sharing time will commence. The instructor will also participate with his own writing. We will then write briefly about what we would most like to STEAL. We will plan out our heist. The class will pick two winners of the read arounds for candy.

Class will close with independent poetry project time.
