English 9 Class Notes
Objectives: Freshmen 1) identified and explained character and types, plot and foreshadowing, irony, setting, imagery, tone and point of view, and symbol, and 2) wrote an expository-analytical paragraph.
Period 6, we went over your reading of “The Scarlet Ibis” during which we touched variously on the concepts listed in the first objective. Then, finally, we moved to paragraphing, something that’s been a long time coming. I introduced you to a rigid writing process that we’ll practice and practice and practice again.
Look forward to more practice on Monday and Wednesday, but have a great weekend until then. Oh, and don’t forget to bring the following items CDO’s Sign Language Club is collecting for our armed service personnel abroad. The last day to donate is Monday, November 30:
- White socks (with no markings)
- Light blankets and character-themed sheets
- Energy drinks, beef jerky
- Snacks like cookies, chips, and candy in sturdy packages
- Hand sanitizer, moist hand wipes, medical gloves
- Sports magazines and Frisbees
- Flash drives
- Letters (none of your own personal information)
- NO PORK OR PRODUCTS AND NO COFFEE
See you Monday, kids
