Today students watched 30 minutes of Alice in Wonderland and took Allusion notes.
Students did their first official draft of "I Am Poem"- required two images, and five new words they have not used before or often. We also worked with a new Graphic Organizer- Citing Evidence, quotations, Inferences, Commentary...with Sherman Alexie's "Absolutely True Diary of Part Time Indian."
We also read Joy Harjo's She Has Some Horses

Sherman has a way of creating vivid images using similes and metaphors. His tone is humorous, which is amazing since the events he talks about are very serious.
ALLUSION was another thing we covered today. This is a reference to another person, event, historical work or work of literature.
The works of literature used the most in Western culture is:
The Bible
Greek Mythology
Alice in Wonderland
We watched a little bit of Alice in Wonderland and I spoke about modern movies that alluded to Alice in Wonderland. One is Resident Evil....
