English 9 Class Notes
Objectives: Freshmen identified and explained character and types, plot and foreshadowing, irony, setting, imagery.
Freshmens, even though getting through sixth period can be a challenge after hard-teaching periods 1 through 4, I was happy to see you again today after my absence. It was time we began to synthesize ideas that we’ve been working on separately for the past ten weeks, and so I asked you to focus on all of the literary concepts we’ve covered in all of the stories we’ve read, but this time identify and explain them in our most recent, “The Rule of Names”, which you read and listened to last week with your subs.
I broke you into groups and directed each to use a variety of graphic organizers to identify characters and types, plot points and elements and instances of foreshadowing, ironies, aspects of setting, and examples of imagery. You worked the period on this task and you’ll do so Wednesday, too. You’ll present your findings to the class then and on Friday, as well, and note the information your peers discover to get an entire literary sense of the story.
See you Wednesday (half-day!).
