Thursday

 Today we will write sentences with Nocturnal and Scruples (post these on a google doc). We will finish taking notes on Literary Terms, and begin reading "The Most Dangerous Game" in your textbook. You will need to fill out a short story outline as you read.

Vampires are nocturnal creatures and therefore Jake did not come home until dawn each night; his mother worried about him, and his father read the Bible and called the priest.

If you hold scruples about doing homework in this class, you will fail and probably spend the rest of your life hanging out in libraries, whispering to people, "I hate homework." 

There might be a reading quiz on your homework from last night.

If you would like to listen to a radio version of the story here is a link:
