While I am out today...
E-mail or print the weekend’s homework.
Read pages 346-369 in Elements of Language. Complete exercises 1, 3 and 4 and hand in today.
Review the Opening paragraph and the first body paragraph of your Dante essay and edit and revise based on the Elements of Language chapter’s information (i.e. what you read today). See if you can improve the essay’s opening. Please don’t e-mail - make a copy and hand it in. If you prefer, you may use your Shakespeare essay instead. The idea is to apply the ideas of the chapter to your own writing.
You may work in pairs for the purpose of reviewing answers or peer editing.
You must work in silence - do not distrupt others who are trying to work.
Go to the link for Classic Short Stories, select one of the following: “The Cask of Amontillado,” “Death Makes a Comeback,” or “The Sniper.” Read the story and, in paragraph form, identify the point of view, the complication and climax of the story, and one example of characterization.
We will continue this tomorrow, have a quiz on plot elements and point of view, and start the review of the Dante section of the final exam.
