Lesson Objectives - Students will create graphic representations of the words for Vocabulary Unit 4.   After that, they will resume their study of the horror genre with "The Outsider" by analyzing the author's use of setting and mood.  Students will then meet in small groups and find text evidence that will help them write a close reading response.
Homework - Students are to continue reading for their November Reader Response Packet.  They should have their flash cards for Vocabulary Unit 4 when they take the quiz tomorrow.
