A Bike Chain and a Monkey's Paw?!
Continuing Literary Terms with Short Stories
Literary Terms Unit
This week we read two short stories to assist in studying our literary terms. We read "Broken Chain" by Gary Soto and "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. While reading "Broken Chain" we focused on the indirect characterization that was used to describe the personalities of Ernie and Alfonso. Mood was a major topic that was discussed while reading "The Monkey's Paw". A homework assignment was sent home Thursday night to interview a family member while discussing what happened in "The Monkey's Paw". Some classes did not finish reading the text, but they were still able to complete the first section of the homework assignment. I hope your child shared with you the interesting happenings of the story!
