Characters

From those I met with today, you have brought forth a great burst of creativity for your characters' pilgrimages to various locales. I'm glad you are appreciating this last burst of fictional writing from your parts as the world will soon revolve around analytical prompts again (yep, there are 2 written ones and 2 verbal ones forthcoming in the next 5 weeks).

2: We completed the last round of allusion posters, which allowed my helpers and I to put up the Bible and some of the mythology ones this afternoon. I know it is only a partial selection of all the allusion posters, but I can't keep looking at the wall while I type this! I missed my wallpaper! The plan is to have all up by next Friday (fingers crossed). We started your character meetings, which will resume tomorrow. Afterwards, we will (in theory - where does time go?) review Federigo's Falcon and the diagnostic MC from last week. Don't forget to work on your prologue and tale for next week's block days. If I'm putting this much energy into the assignment, I hope you do too!

4: We spent the hour in character meetings - and still didn't finish in time! We are almost there, however, so that will be completed during the first phrase of AP Lit next time. While you are working on that dynamic prologue and entertaining tale for our bon voyage party next week, class will look at Federigo and his poor pet ownership skills and the AP Lit diagnostic MC from last week. I can't believe we are almost finished with frame stories and will be in with the Romantics/Feminists/Wollstonecraft/Shelley coterie next week!

7: As with the other hours, the character meetings were not completed, but Friday seems like an appropriate occasion to hear about the remaining cast of our pilgrimage. After those last meetings (we're almost there), we will have a chance to analyze Federigo, his great beloved (should be the loyal falcon if you ask me), and his great sacrifice. Don't forget to work on your prologue and tale - I know I'm going to spend some quality time readying for Alcatraz.
