HW: _________________________________________________________________

 

Tues. 8-28  Purple/blue:  Diction 1 test over first half of long sheet will be given (2o minutes);  for the diction tests, you should know how to spell each word, its denotation (definition), how to use in sentence/differentiate from its confusing counterpart(s); a discussion or activity re:   A Separate Peace.

Wed.  8-29  Purple/orange/(pink):  Diction 1 test for orange and pink; see above (8-28) instructions/requirements for the diction tests; discussion or activity re: A Separate Peace;  be sure that all of you prepare for next class meeting: 4 quotes from A Separate Peace  that you thought were most interesting, challenging and/or revealing about the book.  These quotes do not have to be actual character dialogue, although they may reflect dialogue.  These should be typed and should reflect correct use of quotation marks and  MLA parenthetical documentations.  See the “how to do correct quotations” handout given the first day; you should also have typed on the same page two provocative questions about anything in the book.  Your questions and quotes will be used in part as guideline for discussions in class; do not conspire with a neighbor about what to choose – use your own brain!
