In Class:
Journal [student suggestion] --  Respond to the following quote: "Even the word 'hopeless' has 'hope' in it."

   symbolism: the use of concrete or visible objects as 'stand-ins' or representations of more abstract ideas or themes.
   motif: a recurring image, phrase, or idea used to help convey a theme.

Exit ticket: Copy the important assignments from the board (see below).



Homework:
