Monday/Tuesday:
We will continue our discussions of the summer reading--briefly. Then I have a brief slide show about the kinds of things to notice in a novel. We may finish the movie--but just watch the last part. It's pretty boring, so I might just skip to the final scene. Then we will talk about the movie and how it compares to the novel.
Next, you will get a hand-out on "The House of Atreus." We will be beginning the play, "Agamemnon," a book we have in class, so you do not have to bring your books on Monday/Tuesday. Bring your literature & composition books on Wednesday/Thursday, however.
I will assign parts. We will act out the parts. In between, I will give you notes.
Homework: Read chapter one from Literature & Composition. Bring your Literature & Composition textbook on Wednesday/Thursday as well as your vocabulary book.
Wednesday/Thursday:
Go over chapter one from Literature & Composition. We may read several of the poems aloud. Brief discussion.
Continue with "Agamemnon."
We will go over the vocabulary words for chapter two.
Homework: Chapter two of vocabulary.
Friday:
I will check to see that you have completed your vocabulary homework. We may go over another short piece from Chapter One--but do not haul your heavy books to class.
Homework: Read chapter two in Literature and composition.
