English Homework for Tuesday, Jan 20, Day 5

Class One: You are to write a RAFT following the RAFT rubric passed out in class today. Your ROLE is that of the servant sent by the Duke of Tirol to negotiate the terms of marriage between the Duke of Tirol's daughter and the Duke of Ferrar. Your AUDIENCE is your "boss," the Duke of Tirol. Your FORMAT is a letter that you write to the Duke of Tirol. You must convince to either proceed with the wedding or break off negotiations. Your only source of information is the "conversation" that you had with the Duke of Ferrar while viewing the portrait of the Duke's last duchess. Your TOPIC is the impending marriage. You must convince the Duke of Tirol whether or not to proceed with wedding plans.
You must use at least three new vocab words. Follow the rubric exactly. Voice is extremely important. Make me believe that I am reading a letter written in 1561.

Class Two: Mark up and discuss the themes, imagery, figurative language and structure of Sonnets 18 & 73.

Class Five: Same as class one.

Class Six: Same as class one.

JUST A REMINDER: ALL INDIE READING JOURNALS ARE DUE JAN 23. NO EXCEPTIONS.
