JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tune: "Easy Come, Easy Go" by Bobby Sherman]
Remember that fortune you won yesterday? Easy come, easy go. Due to a computer error, 24,999,999 other people also won. That means your winnings total $2 (actually, more like $1.35 after taxes). How do you react? What thoughts and feelings do you experience? How will your plans change?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. For your HOW I READ post: consider the techniques you see in Hugo's writing, including: 

• Use of the second person (for example, writing "I and "we" to remind us we're reading a story)
• Indirect characterization (helping us learn about the Bishop's character through dialogue, his actions, and the reactions of other characters)
• Setting (creating a sense of place and time by describing details of buildings, landscapes, and events involving history and people)
• Figurative language (using similes and metaphors that create images in our minds as we read)
• Foreshadowing (giving each chapter a title that teases us and invites us to figure out what it means)
• Allusion (referring to real events and figures from history -- today we saw Jesus, Telemachus, & Minerva, for example -- that the author thinks we should know in order to give the text more meaning)
  

PLEASE:
Make sure you're on pace to post about Chapters 8, 9, & 10, and HOW I READ by Friday.
