  • First Day of Second Term
  • New Hall Passes
  • Poem o' the Day: "November for Beginners" by Rita Dove
  • The Thinking/Writing Process: How It Really Works
  • You don't begin with a conclusion/claim. Your observations and reasoning lead you to it.
  • [Finish from Last Time] Informational Text Outline: Draw three conclusions about the life of Edgar Allan Poe based on the biography, the readings in the Massive Purple Text, and his stories and poems. Notice that you begin with what you observe, i.e., the facts, the textual evidence. Then you apply them to what you know (reasoning). Only then do you make an inference, judgment, or conclusion, i.e., a claim. When you synthesize your minor claims, you can create a thesis statement (primary claim) that addresses the prompt or question. Here's the one you should address on the handout: How would you describe the life of Edgar Allan Poe? Was he a victim of fate or did he create his own problems?
  • Turn in the outline.
  • Journal #1
  • Write a letter to yourself as you will be at the end of the term (January 15, 2016). First, describe where you are right now, how you're doing, etc. Then discuss your hopes, expectations, and goals for the coming term. Ask yourself if things turned out as you wanted them to. What do you expect? What are you looking forward to? How do you expect to be different by the end of the term? Share all this with your audience: the future you. Fill the page with your preflections!
  • [Get it? PREflection, not REflection: -flect-/-flex- = bend; -re- = back/again; -pre- = before -- "bend before" to look on the coming term.]

  • Poem o' the Day: "Like Coins, November" by Elizabeth Klise Von Zerneck
  • Reading/Literature
  • PART 1: Passage Analysis
  • Using this web site as a resource, close read your assigned passage of Shakespeare. Your job is to become the expert on your assigned part, so that when we encounter that passage in our study of the play, YOU can help us understand it. Look for end punctuation marks (. ? !) and draw lines to divide the passage into sentences. Circle words you do not recognize, including words that you know but that seem to be used in an unfamiliar way. Paraphrase your passage like you did with a stanza from The Raven last term. (Do not try to "translate" word for word, which will sound awkward and ridiculous.) Express the same thoughts in the language a modern teenager would use. Include all the important details.
  • Composition
  • PART 2: Shakespeare: Then & Now

    "If all the year were playing holidays,
    To sport would be as tedious as to work."
    -- Henry IV, Part 2: Act II, Scene 1

    Example: I think this quotation means that if your whole life is a vacation (playing holidays), even playing (sport) gets boring (tedious). I see this in my own life at the end of summer, when I've been out of school for more than two months. I actually look forward to going back because I get bored when I don't have anything I HAVE to do. For example, .... (Now fill the page.)....

The times have changed, but the words and stories remain. Consider how your own experience with Romeo and Juliet (or other works of Shakespeare) is different than that of his original audience in the Elizabethan era. Using your informational outline, movie notes, and/or any of the attached sources, write a multi-paragraph essay in which you compare the Elizabethan world of William Shakespeare to modern America. [Remember: "Compare" means to show likenesses as well as differences.] Do not just list facts from your notes. Explain how the similarities and differences between the time periods affects your experience, enjoyment, and understanding of the play(s). Be sure to cite your sources within the text of your essay.
