MODERN PROSE
  • ...the usual!  :-)

CREATIVE WRITING


Sharing
  • Each trio read their cliché story aloud, and we commented about elements we liked.
Writing Lesson 
  • Choosing Precise Adjectives (p. 12)
  • We went over the material, and we did a couple of scientific experiments to show what "relative terms" are, and what words are vague and generic.
  • We did the work on page 12, and then we traded three times for smileys.
  • We will share one aloud tomorrow.
Sharing
  • Several people read their EB faves aloud.  They said why they liked the piece, and why they chose it to read.
Homework
  • None

AP ENGLISH

Sharing
  • The people who hadn't read their 128-word sentence did so.  We talked about how a sentence like this takes art and craft to create, and we talked about that regarding Mary Shelley's style as well.
Motifs
  • We continued our discussion and added to our list of Frankenstein motifs.
Vocabulary 
  • I handed out the requirements and supplies for Vocab War, and we discussed it.
  • We had about ten minutes to work with partners to fill in the last column of the Frankenstein, the last column
Art
  • We looked at the Delacroix slideshow and jotted down feelings and associations from the paintings and Chopin's music.
Organizational
  • We made nametags.
Homework
  • Read pages 90-108 of the novel.
