Here is a master vocab list (note it does include Chapters 12-15 which has not been assigned yet)

Weekend Homework

In Class today we went over Direct and Indirect Characterization and how we, as readers, are to infer attributes of characters by what they say, do, think and others' reactions to them. You then filled out a character chart that had you find text that supported what you inferred.

We also met individually (about 1/2 the class) about your in class essay and writing so far in English 7. You should all be so proud! Keep up the good work!

For homework:
1. Finish reading up through Chapter 10 in Chains.
2. Complete the character chart if you didn't finish in class
3. Vocabulary for chapters 1-5
4. (optional) Learning about roman numerals.
