[Christopher Clymer Kurtz]

Students have completed the sixth section of their "I Am Book" (now
completed: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, prepositions, verbs, adverbs).
Today they reviewed turning a writing prompt into a thesis statement,
continued discussing The Outsiders, learned about idioms, and visited the
library.

As a reminder, here is the checklist for irony script corrections (already
due, but still being accepted):

__/10 points fun story, 1-3 pages
__/10 points verbal irony, labeled or explained in a footnote
__/10 points situational irony, labeled or explained in a footnote
__/10 points dramatic irony, labeled or explained in a footnote
__/10 points figurative language (3 examples of different types, labeled)
__/10 points dramatic performance

__ BONUS points for extra figurative language, labeled

___/60 points
