The Devil's Arithmetic 4-6

Today in class we started off by talking about The Devil’s Arithmetic, we talked about the genre of the story which was fiction. Then, we moved on to the author’s purpose in the story. We came up with the answer that was, “the author was trying to show the reader about the Jewish culture and their holidays, and the life of a young Jewish girl”. So far we also said that Hannah has not changed and that she is complaining more. We then shared our journal responses and jobs to the class. We shared illustrators, and we did summarizers and discussion directors. After that we had to take a quiz on the chapters. Tomorrow we going to have time in class to read your book and study for the vocab quiz on Friday or begin on the TDA 7-10 due Tuesday.

Important: Mr. Watson will be meeting with 6H-2 during lunch to discuss the Classical Roots vocabulary. Please join him if you would like a review before the test on Friday.
