Friday

I can question literature to increase my understanding.

Open Unit 1, Lesson 15.

The super short story "The Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin is available both on Pearson and here on the blog--click here, or look in the list to the right. 

On a One Note page entitled Story of an Hour 1, under a Pearson tab, answer all 10 questions, as a group or individually, regarding the story in Lesson 15, using evidence from the story. If you work as a group--no more than three people--make sure to list all participants on the page and make sure all members understand the questions and answers because you will each write an essay using the evidence you find.

Tuesday

I can identify and understand dramatic irony.

Unit 1, Lesson 16 finishes the story with a dramatic twist.

As above, answer all 11 questions in a group or individually, again using language from the story that proves your points.

Wednesday

I can use evidence to effectively respond to a claim.

FISHBOWL

Thursday

In Unit 1, Lesson 17, in a timed essay, you will respond to a claim by agreeing, disagreeing or qualifying and demonstrating your ideas smoothly embedding evidence from the story into your essay.

Friday

I can question literature to increase my understanding.

To cover Unit 1 Lessons 18-20, you will read "One Thousand Dollars" by O.Henry, in Pearson or here on a PDF, and you will use THIS DOCUMENT to increase your understanding of the story.

Plan for 9.Feb.16

I'm out unexpectedly today.

Pair up and work on the following:

Bell work/Ringy Dingy: Define dramatic irony and literary tone

1. In PAIRS go to Pearson Unit 1, Lesson 13, page 1 and re-read and/or re-listen, the last part of Araby together.
2. Make a single document w/ both names that answers ALL of the questions on subsequent pages, 2,3,and 4 that completely prepares you for a Fishbowl discussion Thursday.
3. Regarding the dramatic irony in the story: Though the reader knows the object of the narrator’s desire is not going to give him the time of day, the narrator is oblivious to this. Look for clues to her disinterest and his blindness and denial.
4. Take quiz together. (You'll have to each take it on separate computers.) If you've already taken it and want to retake it after the above process, I've reposted it under these instructions.
5. Once you ensure that you're both prepared to participate fully in the conversation, Thursday, continue your independent reading,
