Freshmen:
Well, it's Monday, so we started with some new vocabulary words for the week and a talk about adjectives. Then, we discussed last week's work on Gaston, and took some notes on character/characterization.
HW: Vocab quiz on Friday, and be sure to have an SSR book by then too.
AP Lit:
New vocab words were given, then we finished clarifying the chronology of Sonny's Blues. We spent the last 20 minutes or so working on our first on-demand writing prompt involving plot. If you were absent, here is the topic: Discuss how John Cheever and/or James Baldwin structured the plot of their stories to create a meaningful effect in the reader. Specifically, how can an author’s choice in structure cause the reader to identify with the experiences or feelings of the characters? Give specific support and examples from “The Country Husband” and/or “Sonny’s Blues.”
HW: See previous posts for this week's reading schedule.
