(Nov. 17) We did Cornell notes using others' questions. I collected them and will redistribute them next day.

We discussed AR options: books, ebooks, iBooks, audio books. Go to your library's website and download audio books.

We went over setting and its importance in "Sentry." We also reviewed the questions for the story and discussed the story's theme.

HW: Keep working on your short story, making sure to three good examples of your theme. Read "The Decision" (pp. 67-78) and answer on page 79 questions 1-4. 6, 7. Also, describe the conflict (person vs. _______).

We read from Genesis (chapters 12-18) and the related pages in the textbook (39-42).

HW: Start a family tree for Abraham (Abram). Do it by hand or on the computer. Your paper should be landscape, not portrait style. So far, you should have Abraham (Abram) m Sarah (Sarai) and their child Isaac as well as a link between Abraham and Hagar and a line indicating their child Ishmael.
