6th Grade English

First Mr. Watson came around and checked all of our homework. After he checked the homework, he asked each student to go over the vocabulary book pages. We all shared our answers, and made marks in our book as we corrected them. We checked page 56, and then page 57. Then Mr. Watson said that he would give us the next 13 minutes to find examples of our literary words in the book Under the Blood Red Sun. He told our group to write examples for indirect characterization and symbolism. We looked at our books and tried to find the examples. We found an example of symbolism, and it was the family butsudan is a symbol of Japan. Then we found an example of indirect characterization, and it was “don’t disgrace us.” is what papa said, and it tells us that papa is sort of strict, and wants to represent his culture. First he told Christiana, Mackenzie, Jessica, and Baily to share their examples, and they were told to find an example of irony. Then he told Zack, Hunter, and David to share their example, and they we asked to find examples of mood and direct characterization. Then our group was asked to share our examples, and Hannah told the class our example of symbolism and then direct characterization. Mr. Watson went over the homework due for the week, and told us that he did not get to grade any papers because the waves were so good over the weekend. Your job and journal response for chapters 1-4 in The Wanderer are due tomorrow.
