English 11: You Gonna' Rock Tomorrow's Paragraph?

If you were absent today, add Belsen and convalescence to your vocab. list, please. We edited the "Fall of a City" paragraphs line by line with a partner, using the paragraph editing sheets. Bring that sheet to class tomorrow so that you will not CONTINUE making the same mistakes. Make NEW mistakes on tomorrow's paragraph.

Due tomorrow: your TICK chart for "The Sound of the Hollyhocks", your editing sheet and the paragraph you will write during class tomorrow.


The question: The characters in the story, bankers, ministers, husbands, university professors, are literally cut off from society in the convalescent home, Pinehills. In a literary paragraph of 300 to 500 words, discuss the sources that might cause such isolation. Use your TICK chart to ensure you understand the story's theme. You may bring your thesis with you.
