Freshmen:
Turned in your Hero Stories. Copied down new vocabulary words. Reviewed your paraphrase of the Prologue from last week, then began reading Act 1, scene 1.
AP Lit:
Prom court nominations (Am I going to win Prom Queen this year? I sure hope so!)
Turned in your papers and metacognitions. (For those of you who were "absent" today, remember that late papers will be accepted for one day only and for a maximum of 70% credit.) I also collected the notes you took on the poems you read last week. Handed out another Practice Multiple Choice AP Test. This will be due on Friday and will be worth 30 points in the gradebook. Also, it will be scored in the same way as the actual AP test. (1 point for correct answers, -1/4 point for incorrect answers, no credit for blank answers.) We then took some notes on terms related to analyzing the language of poetry-- diction, syntax, precision/ambiguity, denotation/connotation, etc. Tomorrow we'll continue discussing interesting language choices.
HW: Read That time of year... , Marks, At the Hospital, and Wild Nights--Wild Nights! (starting on page 481) In your notes, identify and explain the figurative language used in each (simile, metaphor, symbol, etc.)
