Today, we discussed commas a bit more. I then handed out the short story "Boys and Girls", by Alice Munro, which I then read out loud while students highlighted pertinent information (expository and shifts), and identified literary devices (allusion, personification, similes, and metaphors). Once we finished reading it, the students had to write up a summary. Questions for this will be assigned tomorrow. If you were not here today, come into class before lunch and get the reading out of your portfolio.
