Transition Day

We are moving from introductory materials (like our Casterbridge cast of characters) to actual novellas (The Awakening) and the expectation of over-analyzing, well, everything will be across the board. To prepare for our block day, you have three items to prepare: your new vocab expert word, a rereading of "The Birthmark" with specific attention on devices and evidence from both readings, and reading/noting the biographical world of Kate Chopin.

During class today, we completed vocab quiz 1, which means if you were absent, you have 48 hours to either make up the quiz or schedule an appropriate time to do so. We read sample paragraphs for our Casterbridge characters, and we talked about college credit opportunities.
