Bring the LIT text to class for the next two weeks. Thanks.
Section 3: Read the sample questions and student essays in the package I handed out today. How would you rate each essay out of 9? Why?
To prepare for Wednesday's essay (which we will write during class) since I will be absent, focus on a few key scenes. Memorize quotes. Decide why the scenes are key; i.e. how does setting reveal theme or character or affect tone. Settings are key methods an author uses to add depth and "character" to the novel. Setting can be cultural, physical or geographical.
Create a giant what / so what chart on key settings which reveal character (hint hint) This is to be handed in before you write the essay on Wednesday.
Tomorrow night, you will be busy with poetry, so complete this task tonight. Choose three passages, photocopy them, and annotate them and you will be really prepared for the essay.
The next two Wednesday-after-school classes will be completed at home as you have a lot of work to do for poetry: notes and an essay. I'll hand out the poetry outline tomorrow.
Tomorrow's class we will be making notes on the Renaissance, Romantic, Victorian and Modern ages. Bring your text. Bring notes from last year. You will need a quizlet account. If you don't have one, you can make one during class tomorrow.
