WU: Weekend/Free Write (5 mins)

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? How did you first few weeks go?

Discuss: "Being Mean"
 * Setting
 * Character
 * Conflict
 * Theme--why did Soto write this?
 * Remember to keep this marked up memoir in your journal so I can give you points when I grade it.

HW: Bring silent reading book to class Tuesday/Wednesday. You'll have your vocabulary quiz next MONDAY--make sure your vocab sheet is complete by then. (And use it to study.)
