This week we begin Unit 3: Literary Elements in Short Stories and Poetry. The entire week is a refresher, so many handouts for practice.
Here is what we are doing this week:
Monday: PowerPoint that covers the handout students were given. Everything on the PowerPoint is on the handout. We only had 2 additions:
1. Non-linear plot is when the story branches of using flashbacks/flashforwards or something that takes you off the straight path. Think of the highway. Every time you take an off ramp or make a U turn you are non-linear.
2. Second Person: Although we don't use this in writing, it is when you say "you" and your" when giving instructions such as a recipe.
Tuesday: Today is setting and point of view practice through practice.
Wednesday: Today is Figurative Language & Simile/Metaphor practice.
Thursday: Today is Inference and irony practice.
Friday: Today is a bit different. We are reading a story called "Natural Selection." This story is satire. We will read the story and answer the text dependent questions.
If you are absent any of these days, the handouts will be in your folder for you when you return.
Have a great week!!
