Since my brain is still reacting to Twin Peaks last night and all the motifs, character conflicts, and welcome moments of closure, it was a pleasure to have you take over class today and note the same above literary techniques in "The Birthmark." At the forefront of our analysis was the symbolism - a hand, a crimson hand, characterization, gender roles, projection, motifs, and foils! I will hopefully have your prompts for you on the block day, and we will talk about prose prompt goals for the semester.
Next up, you now have The Awakening in your possession, which you will use to read the first five chapters for tomorrow and have notes ready to share for our discussion. And don't worry, absent people: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/160/160-h/160-h.htm. I also gave you the overall verbal presentation assignment, which we will discuss tomorrow.
Then, we shared all our knowledge of Kate Chopin and how her background may have influenced several of her novellas and short stories.
See all of you tomorrow for another scintillating discussion of literature and your first vocab quiz. "One hundred percent. Finally."
P.S. I'm wearing my AP Lang Class of 2015 shoes today!
