Friday 8/16

Today we will be taking notes on literary terms.  I will be giving you a note guide and expect you to fill it out and answer the personal questions included on the guide.

LEARNING GOALS:  STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS KEY ELEMENTS THAT CREATE MEANING IN FICTION.

How you will be assessed (tested):  1) quiz in two weeks  2) checks on your ability to break down the structure of short stories (as we read) by plot (the six parts of plot).  Discuss/define/analysis different types of conflict in a story 3) discuss character change, protagonist, antagonist and allusion and how they work in a story.

These things will help us to eventually cover Common Core Standards RL1, RL2, RL3, RL4, RL5 and RL9.


Go here for a great painting of Zaroff's chateau.  If you need a definition of chateau go here.
