Block A: For homework tonight - finish the book! We will have our final Survivor Challenge tomorrow. So be prepared! Today you were assigned an independent journal activity:
Choose 2 significant quotes from the novel so far. Discuss your personal reaction to the quote ie; why did you choose it, what do you like/dislike about it. Provide analysis - what does the quote mean, and explain the significance of the quote in relation to one of the major themes in the novel. Each response should be a full paragraph - at least 1/2 a page single spaced, or a full page double spaced.
Block C: Today we looked how how to write a comparative analysis aka the synthesis essay. I handed out the essay topics and outline. You will have a full class tomorrow to prepare for the essay on Monday. The outline MUST be in point form - you may have full sentences for your thesis and topic sentences. Everything else will be in point form, I will be checking your outlines on Monday when we have our in class essay - and if there are any other full sentences, I will take your outline away.
Block D: Keep thinking about your Great Poetry Essay tonight, and come prepared to start writing your rough draft tomorrow.
