Today, you were to have read the article "Political Correctness Laughed Off Stage" by Peter C. Newman. I did a walk-through to see if you achieved this task correctly. Using this article, I then modeled what active reading looks like. I also handed out a sheet entitle "Stylistic Devices" to help you identify figurative language. As we actively read, I explained what a cliche is and what satire is. You then added these definitions to your stylistic devices sheet. If you were not here, you will have to define these on your own or see me for an explanation. I also showed you how active reading can lead to further, fruitful questions (I am now wondering if a Canadian issue could be whether or not we should keep spelling things differently than the U.S. or just give in).
Your homework tonight is to read your independent novel.
