Blog #8 Due: Monday 10/22/12

We just learned about abstract nouns and how they help you determine the theme in a text.
For this week's blog entry, tell us one of the themes of your independent reading book and then turn it into a theme statement.
If you need help, use the graphic organizer we used to analyze the theme of the video clips from, "My So Called Life." You can also ask yourself "What did I(or the character) learn?"
Do not forget to comment on 2 classmates posts.
