Hello! Here's what we're up to today:
English 12
1. Checking in, and a reminder: Grade 12 assembly at 1005
2. Review of Ode on a Grecian Urn, and dissecting the grammar of the last two sentences.
3. Freewrite: Reflect on the final two sentences
4. Looking ahead:
- Next class, Tuesday, we'll take a look at another poem.
- Thursday (May 3), we'll have a quiz. This one will be different. 8 questions, a mixture of multiple choice and short answer on all four texts we've looked at so far. Open book - I'll print out a copy of "This is Water" for everyone, begrudgingly, for Tuesday. Any term on the Lit Devices sheet is fair game.
- Thursday (May 3), your Independent novel study assignment are due. Bring your completed book to class, and you'll hand those in, and participate in a larger discussion. (No need to prepare anything for the discussions).
- The week after, tentatively Wednesday, May 9th, we'll have an in-class write. This will be a synthesis essay on two of the four texts we've looked at. The lesson before will be to review synthesis structure and the texts themselves.
5. Handing back P4 (Sorry it took so long!). Only one note for writing:
- no need to go for the fancier word, if the simpler word is just as clear.
6. Next class, read "Because I Could not Stop for Death" (75)
English 10
1. Remaining oratoricals
2. Time for independent novel assignment. It is due on Thursday, May 3rd.
3. Option: Read "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
