We are completing our discussions of The Tempest, and will be viewing some of the Tempest film over the next few days.
We have also begun to analyze rhythm and meter in poetry and you will have a practice poetry multiple choice test on Tuesday (January 12).
January 13: Tempest panel discussions/ intro to Emma handout
For Thursday (January 14) Please read chapters 1-8 and annotate Emma on post-its. I would also like you to maintain a double-entry journal of your reading: aim for three quotes per chapter. Make sure you mark page numbers in your journal. This will come especially handy as you prepare for your next major paper (please see syllabus for sample essay ideas as you read).
In addition: (January 13 and 14) we will discuss the text.
January 14 we will do a mini-lesson on the P.E.E. method for essay writing, which will assist in developing and supporting ideas (Point-Example-Explanation).
January 15: You will have an in-class free-response essay (poetry) in which you will practice using this model in your writing.
Looking ahead: It will be time for January's practice multiple choice practice exam-- I KNOW you will be those 8% goals! You've been working hard and it shows!!!
