Remember: The agenda is what we do in class. I include homework on this page as well (and the homework is duplicated under the “homework” tab). Of course, as with seventh period when we ran out of time for one of the objectives on the agenda, we will have to pick up the slack this week.
Monday/Tuesday:
1. First, you must have your textbooks with you!
2. You are to have part of chapter five over the weekend, including the introduction on page 161, the information on James Joyce on page 162, and Joyce’s long short-story, “The Dead.” I also asked that you answer the two sets of questions on pp. 191-192 (Questions for Discussion) and on pp. 192-193 (Questions on Style and Structure). I will walk around the room to see that you have accomplished this.
3. Next, I will draw numbers from a cup and you will be expected to answer the question when called upon. You should be able to reference parts of the story.
4. You will begin an in-class essay on the story. Complete it for homework. This essay will be graded, so write neatly and in pen and double-space. This essay will be worth a quiz grade. I will give you feedback and a chance to revise it for a test grade. But it must be in on Wednesday/Thursday. I will not accept this work late unless you have an excused absence.
Homework: Complete the essay, using evidence from the text. No late essays will be accepted. And if hand-written, it must be in blue or black ink and double-spaced. It will not be accepted if it is in the incorrect form.
Wednesday/Thursday
1. You do not need to bring your big fat books today!
2. I will collect your essays.
3. We will begin reading and performing “Medea,” a work often classified as iconoclastic, because Euripides “broke the mold” by creating this haunting woman-warrior. Later, we will watch an iconoclastic film, “Sunset Boulevard.” You will be writing an essay comparing the two and this will eventually work its way into a parody-sketch incorporating the two iconoclastic works.
Homework: Vocabulary chapter 6. Next week, it will be vocabulary review unit, which means that you can expect a test the following week on Wednesday/Thursday.
Friday
1. I will check your vocabulary. You must have your vocabulary book (no big heavy textbooks on an eight-period day). You must have completed the assignment, in writing that is legible, and your name must be on the book.
Homework: Read the short story in your textbook, “The Moths,” by Helena Maria Viramontes. Read about her background too. The story is on pp. 272-277. Answer the questions (in writing) on p. 277. Also, read the interview with the author on pp. 278-280. Answer the follow-up questions on page 280.
