The final days of February

This week we have been nearing the end of Tuck Everlasting in class. In furthering our discussion on characterization and inferencing, we have been working on our compare and contrast paragraphs in which we compared and contrasted two characters from Tuck Everlasting. Next week, we will quiz over Ch. 9-16 vocabulary, characterization, and the metaphor "A Ferris Wheel is a wheeling calendar" which we discussed thoroughly in class as well as created a visual representation of the comparison. Next week we will also be finishing Tuck Everlasting and talking about larger themes present throughout the novel as well as our final culminating project over the novel. After finishing our Tuck Everlasting unit, we will spend some time celebrating and remembering Black History Month.
