Today the students annotated passages from the end of The Kite Runner. They broke into small groups to discuss their particular passages. Afterwards each group shared what they thought was interesting from the passages. Next I returned graded work and discussed with them the 2nd timed writing on The Kite Runner which will be tomorrow.
