Mon. 8-20 ALL classes: 20-25 minute test on Literary Terms (first half); blue/orange and (pink) turn in Personal Museum writing assignment and rubric. NOTE: You should always turn in rubrics with assignments; from this point on, I will probably not remind you. An assignment without the rubric creates a hardship for me – and probably indicates you did not use the rubric as rubric should be used. We will discuss literary TRENDS – not same as terms – and structure of stories/novels; we will start examining trends via reading of short story, “The Story of an Hour.” We need to also examine IMAGERY in the story. I will try to give out imagery assignments to all classes: Honors will write an epiphany in natural setting; on-level will write “Thinking of Happiness.” HONORS may have to finish a few orals.???
HW: ______________________________________________________________
Tues. 8-21 Purple/blue: If I did not give out IMAGERY assignment yesterday, I will do so today; we will also continue looking at structure of stories/novels and TRENDS in literature by examining “Story of an Hour.”
HW: ______________________________________________________________
Wed. 8-22 Purple/orange/(pink): 20 minutes/ Roots 1 test (you must know roots and meanings of roots and two words/definitions from the list that shows you words with that root; these will be same instructions for every roots test; every roots test is COMPREHENSIVE); we will complete discussion of “Story of an Hour,” examining imagery, structure, trends, elements; ask any questions you have re: your writing assignments. If we did not get contextual reading learned on 8-15,purple needs to learn re: contextual reading problems on vocab tests, CTPs, PSAT, SAT. If I have not given the IMAGERY assignment (honors – epiphany and on-level “Thinking of Happiness,”) or if you were absent, I will do so today.
