Orange Day

COLLEGE PREP ENGLISH
1. We took the vocabulary test
2. "A Rose for Emily:" We took time in class to read and discuss the story...we went over the "clues" present in the story that make the ending more believable. There was a response assigned that is due Monday, and the expectation is that this is to be done EVEN IF you haven't finished the story-->What happens to people in our society who go against the status quo? Provide your own opinion, backed up by examples.

HONORS ENGLISH
1. We took vocabulary test
2. I collected the "CS Lewis" paper, which was due today
3. "Once more to the lake" was assigned. To promote our new technology (Macs), you are to find the essay (google it...it is an easy one to find!), read it, and respond to TWO of the examples of symbolism I wrote on the board. If you missed class, come see me to get them.
4. "Halloween in Literature" discussion.....
5. For Monday, PLEASE bring some examples of college essay questions you've seen!

ENGLISH 12

1. We revisited "The Lottery," discussing traditions and typological names
2. We viewed a powerpoint presentation about three levels of question generating. Hopefully you took good notes
3. Worked in groups to develop 3 literal questions, 5 inferential questions, and 5 transcendent questions. These questions are to be on a film, book, or show of your choice. Whatever you didnt finish in groups is due on Monday....it is a participation grade....
