Prepping for Friday & Monday

In both classes today, we finished up our "Helens" by analyzing our close readings for speaker, diction, imagery, form, and tone. As noted in class, these literary devices and analyses are the starting point for literary analysis essays.

Following Helen, you received the official "Birthmark" essay assignment, which you will be typing up in class tomorrow. Make sure you make an outline on the back of the handout and bring your close read in order to write the best diagnostic test ever.

P.S. As envisioned by Lyle, you are welcome to set up your Google document --- title it, put your heading on it, set up any specific formatting you need --- prior to class starting. You must wait until we are in the library to start the actual writing.

For Monday, have your index cards (if that is your choice) and your vocab expert word ready to go. Second hour ladies, bring back the Gatsby setting close read for us to finish.
