Here are the notes from class about what kinds of things to note down on your sticky notes as you are reading. Remember 4 notes is the minimum - more is fantastic!!!
- Questions about the novel
- Something you liked and enjoyed
- Something you disliked or disagreed with
- Funny parts
- Sad parts
- Appeals to other emotions (empathy,...)
- A connection (t-t, t-s, t-w)
- Literary elements: character traits, setting, theme, mood, conflict and point of view
- Descriptive words or phrases that paint a mental picture that you can illustrate
- Symbols
- Predictions
- Problems / solutions
- Comparisons / contrasts
- Oddities (strange and different items)
- Figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, oxymoron, or alliteration
- Quotes related to themes: survival, leadership, civilization vs. savagery, and loss of innocence
Block C: The investigation of short stories continues. Today you read a document on plot - using the assisted notes provided. Keep these as a study guide for the provincial! When that is done - read the The Tell-Tale Heart by Poe - the task will be completed in class tomorrow.
Block D: I'm very excited about our poetry quest! First question: is it imagery that makes poetry great? We took some notes, and studied some examples, and then your task was to write a poem using all 4 of the terms discussed in class today. The poem must be at least 10 lines and you need to highlight and label each of the devices that you use. The poem is due for homework if not done in class.
