Hello Sophomores!
We began the week with an in class written diagnostic. All 10th graders responded to the same choice of prompts. Thank you for allowing me to see your current writing. This way I can see exactly how I can assist this year. We all use style and diction in various ways. We will all improve on our own terms this year. Please commit to doing your best always.
This week we will investigate the short story "The Interlopers." This story has situational irony, awesome characterization, and explores themes of grudges and resistance to change. You will enjoy it. I was very impressed by your in class discussion and ideas on Tuesday. You are all so bright and really have a lot to say and share. Please be heard...especially during our Socratic Discussion on Thursday. The more prepared you are with insight to the story, annotations, vocab, real life examples, etc....the better and more confident you will feel!
Tues - "The Interlopers" - anticipation guide, read in class with embedded questions.
HW - Define Vocabulary words, annotate for better understanding of characterization and theme(s)
Wednesday - Further exploration with "The Interlopers" and "A Poison Tree"
(Comparative Analysis) - reread for characterization.
Thursday - Socratic Discussion - "The Interlopers", "A Poison Tree" (You will earn a participation grade for your effort - posing questions to other students is not only welcome but encouraged!)
Friday - Quiz - Literary Terms - know the definitions and be able to give some examples from the stories we have read. Author's Chair - inish Intro Poems
Please check back for further updates and specific homework tasks - as some tasks may be moved or updated.
Have a good week. Grades will be displayed shortly as well as all assignments currently being counted. If you are missing anything - please speak with me immediately.
