113 English Period 1 & 5. Novel Study- The Contender by Robert Lipsyte

Week 4- This week I will upload a video of me reading Chapter 3 & 4 (the link will be updated here as soon as finished loading)

There are chapter questions for Chapter 3-4 as well as a hyperbole activity. A hyperbole is a statement or claim not meant to be taken literally. I understand that you are not able to 'print' at home but, you can sketch your interpretation of the following hyperbole on loose leaf or white paper, then you can snap a picture with your phone or device and upload in Microsoft Teams or email it to me. The hyperbole that is included in this weeks work is actually found in chapter 3 is; “Donatelli leaned against four black-taped ropes, and turned his bulldog face to Alfred.” (p. 22) We know that Donatelli doesnt actually have a bulldog face- but what does this hyperbole tell readers about how Donatelli looks- sketch your interpretation! Have fun with it. 

Have a great week guys!
