‍ Bell Work: Parallel Structure
Directions: Write each sentence, correcting the faulty parallelism.
 * 1) The report was well-researched, concise, and it was also of great relevance to today’s world.
 * 2) When my classmate read the draft of my essay, she thought my supporting evidence was strong, but she also thought that my weakness was my introduction.
 * 3) As he worked on his essay, the student was thorough, hard-working, and thought about the issues.
 * 4) Even though writing the essay was challenging for many students, they felt a sense of satisfaction and more self-confident when they had finished.

Show me your chart of 5 examples of symbolism/metaphor from chapters 11-13. Turn in the last 3 days of bell work. This should be 12 sentences fixing faulty parallelism.

Discuss
What important things did we need to know from chapters 11-13? What symbolism did you see?

Analysis: Symbolism
On a sheet of white paper, design a visual and written analysis of a quote from the novel.

Include:

 * 1) A detail sentence that includes a signal phrase and embedded quotations. Put the page number in parenthesis before the period at the end of the sentence.
 * 2) An explanation of the symbolism/metaphor. Address meaning and author's purpose.
 * 3) A visual representation of the quote. You don't have to be an artist; be creative!
