Friday, September 17

We had our DOL Week 3 quiz today.

Once we finished the quiz, we watched a teacher tube video of Vincent Prince narrating "The Raven."  Students filled in a sheet on sound devices (alliteration, rhyme, rhythm, and repetition).  We discussed examples of these devices from the poem and began our dicussion of character, setting, conflict, and resolution as revealed in the poem.

The homework for the weekend is to revise the imagery/setting poems from "The Cask of Amontillado."  Students should remember that each paragraph should have a topic sentence, three examples from the text, three examples as to how these examples play on our fears, and a transition sentence.  This is the criteria for assessment.
