Class One (due Wednesday, Day Two): Read and mark-up pages 1, 2, 3, 4 of "War." Predict how the story will end -BE SPECIFIC. continue working on your "Sniper" vocab corrections. Retest is Thursday, Day Three.
Class Two: Read pages 1, 2, 3, 4 of "War." review your Rules of Notice. I want you to notice the protagonist, the antagonist, the setting, the mood. How does London create the mood?
Class Five: Read pages 1, 2, 3, 4. Select the most important sentences from both Chapter I and Chapter II. Predict the ending and BE SPECIFIC. Start correcting your "Sniper" vocab quiz. Your corrected quiz is your admission ticket to the retest which is day three, Thursday.
Class Six: See Friday's posting.
For all classes: if you owe the essays for "Flowers," "Cat in the Rain," or "The Sniper," you have until Monday, Nov 3 to pass in any missing work. Any missing work will receive a zero.
If you have passed all three in, but wish to rewrite any ONE of them you may do so and receive the higher of the two grades.
The topics are as follows: for "Flowers"-Select the most important sentence and thoroughly explain and defend why you chose the sentence that you did; for "Cat in the Rain"-explain the significance of the title. Go beyond the obvious and consider some of the stories we have read this year; for "The Sniper"-what was Liam O'Flaherty's purpose in writing this short story about the Irish civil war-what was he trying to tell his readers? You'll need a minimum of three details from the text to support your thesis and I want you to underline your thesis statement and each of the three details. Remember that each detail should have two or three sentences explaining the use of the detail
