Short Story Test: Thursday: short multiple choice section on a prose passage and a short piece of prose (from one of the stories studied). You will need to annotate the passage and write a composition on its stylistic elements.
We will have time during class tomorrow and a review day Wednesday to prepare for the composition and for the test.
USSR books: YOU SHOULD BE HALF WAY BY NOW. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF YOU NEED TO BOOK MORE READING TIME INTO YOUR SCHEDULE.
We start poetry on Friday.
Today: Two groups presented on "The Lottery" and on "A Very Old Man ..."
After the discussions, we started to work on TICK charts in groups.
Your ticket into class tomorrow: A complete What / So what chart on your letter

We will present your group's findings tomorrow.
Use the TICK chart to create a thematic statement. We'll create a thematic statement during class.
