English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen 1) identified and explained character and types, plot and foreshadowing, irony, setting, imagery, and 2) read independently.

Ninth graders, we started with a brief discussion about the headlines that remained on the board after my forth period APELC class (see their notes from the last two days), a discussion about good and bad and how we understand these categories and act according to them in our own lives. It was interesting, and this isn’t the last time we’ll discuss these ideas. They’ll be important in our discussions of literature we read even later this new quarter.

After, you completed and shared your groups’ work on literary concepts in “The Rule of Names” today. You filled the board with your finding on the elements listed in the objectives and copied down other groups’ information on the text analysis form I provided, and which you’ll be responsible for filling out when we encounter and new text from now on.

You finished the period reading your liberry books.

No homework. Have a good weekend, kids.
