Friday, 15 October

Author Reports are due on Monday.

In class students shared their interior monologues with others who wrote from the same characters perspective. These groups analyzed the monologues in terms of those words, phrases and ideas that gave a "voice" to the piece.

Students also analyzed the monologues for key points that portrayed the unique perspective or point of view of the character and for key issues that each character is struggling with.

Students received an handout of an article by Spangler arguing that Simon is a Christ figure. A thorough analytical reading of this piece is due on Tuesday.

The final chapters of Lord of the Flies should be read by Tuesday as well.

Have a good weekend,
Mr. Z

  1. I'm trying to access the Gale Virtual Reference Library online but when I click on it it says there's an error and I'm not permitted to enter the database. I called the library and the guy said they couldn't do anything until tomorrow probably. I was absent for a research day so I couldn't finish my research for the author report thing. I would have e-mailed you but the grant server is down so I can't get your e-mail address off the website. Can you e-mail me back? Thanks
