Prose Ranging

After a quick review of vocabulary, we settled in to Ms. Wollstonecraft's introduction and her want of gender equality in morality, government, and interpersonal imbroglios. After a brief hiatus on Wednesday, we will return to Wollstonecraft, and you will be very busy analyzing a chapter (or two or three) of A Vindication.

Next, we spent some time reading and picking out flaws in rangefinders for the Estrella prompt. Overall, the class has a strong grasp of characterization and explaining a dynamic character via analogies, tone, diction, and other literary elements. Areas to improve would be transitional elements with evidence and clean, mistake-free mechanical decisions. Since AP Lang will be working on grammar and punctuation fourth quarter, I have a feeling we will be as well.

Tomorrow is the day -- to Bikini Bottom they say -- a thief tells the tale -- not sure if the character will be male. Corny rhyming! Not in iambic pentameter! This is not a preview of the prologue -- I promise it won't be that horrible.

Dependent on the rest of the class, we will most likely sharing allusion posters and completing a vocabulary quiz.

In case any of you are interested in buzzers, tone words, and allusions, there will be a review and competition Thursday morning. Arrive between 6:50-7:00, grab your tally sheet from the wall, and begin playing. Door closes at 7!
