Dialogue

After vocab experts today, we continued working with narrative features. By discussing and analyzing the narrative features of "Only Daughter," we reviewed the theme and how it haunts every moment of the narrator's existence, time and how the narrator utilizes flashbacks to show the inundation of parent apathy, characterization and how two characters can be the focus of a story, dialogue and how it can be appropriate or distracting, and imagery's effect on creating a fully developed text.

To continue with dialogue, we worked with how words and details can reveal much about a character. Given an age and gender, you created a conversational piece that utilizes details to provide characterization and audience understanding. We will read these aloud on Wednesday.

To continue with Wednesday's agenda, we will review vocabulary, read another sample narrative, and review punctuation rules utilizing highlighters and activities.
