English 10: Review today's lesson

Homework: Read 15 to 30 pages from your USSR book or finish the book if you can't put it down and you can find a new one tomorrow!

Today: We did our first two words: demise and redemption. Can you use each one clearly in a sentence? Practice tonight.

We learned all the names:
Do you know Tanya, Elijah, Jasmine, Emma, Eunice, Josh, Jarrod, Julie, Jaylam, Nikki, Sean, Carmen, Maggie, Isaiah, Ella, Kait, Jaedyn, Gurman, Anna, Henry, Matt, Athena, Guilia, (Julia) Michaela, Jacob, Molly, Mamie, Shane, Syler, and Sammie?

We defined and re-defined THEME. Can you define it?

We brainstormed the significance of the title of Sinclair Ross's story, "The Lamp at Noon". Who is Sinclair Ross? What is he famous for?

We read the first paragraph. We chose one word to represent the significance of that paragraph. We defined PATHETIC FALLACY.

Tomorrow: Be prepared to be asked questions on all of the above.
