Homework for 2-a, 3-a, and 4-a Assigned on 10/10 and due on 10/12

Today, we finished reading the short story, "The Scarlet Ibis." I collected plot sequencing notes and your characterization charts with text-supported inferences. As we read and completed our character analysis notes, we discussed how the Scarlet Ibis functions as a symbol in the story. We also discussed major themes in the story and completed a quick write connecting themes presented in the poem, "Woman with Flower" on page 604 with themes developed by Hurst in the short story, The Scarlet Ibis.

Tonight, I would like you to re-read pages 601 to 604.
Think about how Doodle lived and how he died.
Think about how the Scarlet Ibis is both like and unlike Doodle.
Create a graphic organizer and compare/contrast the Scarlet Ibis to Doodle. Please note that you should detect many more similarities than differences.

Complete Vocabulary in Action Exercise on p. 606. Study definitions in the vocabulary section of your notebook.
