We began today with a quick recap of how students felt about the first two chapters of Dracula. Then we discussed the Dracula Vocabulary List 3 (quiz on Monday) – see the vocabulary section if you need an electronic list. Finally, students wrote an in-class SAR over chapter 2. Please come in tomorrow during lunch if you missed it.

Homework for tonight is to read (and annotate!) chapters 3 and 4, and complete a SAR for chapter 3 – Dracula Chapter 3 SAR.

We did lots in class today! First, we discussed some important background information for understanding Dracula: Dracula Schema Guide. Then we talked about a major essay that you will write as you read the novel: Dracula Critical Essay Assignment Page. Finally, we talked about expectations for writing short answer responses over the next few weeks:Writing a Short Answer Response – Guidelines and Expectations

Homework for tonight (due tomorrow) was to read chapters 1 and 2 of Dracula and complete a SAR for chapter 1: Dracula Chapter 1 SAR
