Day 124- "She was a dull person, but a sensational invitation for making babies." Slaughter-House Five

Wow these days are long. 36 minutes is truly brutal to add to a day. This will be short due to being exhausted. In English 12 we finished up chapter 8 and started into chapter 9 Slaughter-House. We discussed one of my favorite quotes in the book, which is the title of this post. Vonnegut's humor in this book shocks these kids. I told them they better read for tomorrow as there will be a reckoning, but I'm not sure they listened. In creative writing we began working on descriptive writing and really trying to put the reader in the scene they are writing. I had them write about an thrilling or anguishing moment in their lives. We then discussed descriptive writing and I read them an excerpt from a story that used very descriptive language. I then let them go back and try to make their moments more descriptive. This will definitely be a multi-day lesson.
