"Easiest" may be a hasty generalization of sorts, but today's class centered around preparation for our upcoming classes: namely, constructing your literary toolbox and your portfolio. These items will be necessary to furthering your literary vernacular for upcoming discussions, term quizzes, and analyses.
Agenda-wise, we started with our first four vocabulary words of the year! Oh, how the list shall fervently grow and grow without much of a moratorium in between. Then, second hour had a fire drill, and fourth hour had a close read regarding setting and theme on the valley of ash in The Gatsby. Lastly, you worked on the aforementioned toolbox and folder.
Plotting of the week:
Tuesday - Vocab Experts, Characterization close reads (with highlighters)
Thursday - Portfolio folder decor due, Birthmark discussion, AP Lit grading scale, essay return
Friday - Characterization with Madame Bovary & a dual analysis of a text and its modern day adaptation
Next week - Kate Chopin!
