The Other Side of Helen

After starting up vocab, we finished our look at the two Helens - the beloved version and the angered version. As a class, you worked on creating thesis statements answering the prompt regarding the speaker, imagery, diction, tone, and form and incorporating textual support from both poems. As a reward for your strong work, you received two tone handouts to help you with your tone shift identification and a glossary of literary terms to help you with your toolbox.

While your homework assignment is to bring in your toolbox or be ready for a new Steno notebook, the big assignment will be on Tuesday: the literary analysis of "The Birthmark" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This will be your literary analysis diagnostic essay for the school year.
