Honors English 11 (B block)
- We talked the other day about qualities of a good story/storyteller. Your observations fell into three categories:
- EMOTION
- DETAILS
- AUDIENCE CONSIDERATION
- For homework, pick one of the "events" off of your Summer Vacation A-Z brainstorming sheet, and write it up. Tell that story! A page or two will do, probably. You should spend about 20 minutes on this.
- Make sure you're ready to write about True Diary on Friday.
English 12 (D block)
- Make sure you're ready to write about your summer reading book tomorrow. That involves reviewing characters, making sure you remember the plot line, etc.
Honors English 11 (F block)
- We talked today about qualities of a good story/storyteller. Your observations fell into three categories:
- EMOTION
- DETAILS
- AUDIENCE CONSIDERATION
- For homework, pick one element of good storytelling that you think your story draft is lacking. Revise, keeping that element in mind. On Friday, you'll bring your original draft, your notes from Wednesday, and your final draft to class, and you'll pass them all in.
- Also for homework, give the Sherman Alexie poems a first read. ANNOTATE (by writing notes in the margins) your observations, questions and connections. (Specifically, if lines in the poem remind you of True Diary, make note of how.)
- Make sure you're ready to write about True Diary on Monday.
