Thurs. Nov. 13, 2014: Stylistc Devices

A number of students missed the exam yesterday or did not finish completing their reflection 2 on their independent novel study. As a result, I gave them the following assignment on the board. This also includes the direction of tomorrow's class:

Thurs. Nov. 13, 2014

A number of students need to write the exam from yesterday, so this will be a quiet class.

·         Work on completing your independent novel study reflection #2

·         Pull out your stylistic devices sheet

·         Pull out “A Field of Wheat”

·         In each paragraph, locate at least one literary device.

o   Write it down on a sheet of paper in the manner which follows

o   Metaphor: “He was a clown.” (p. 4, 104).    The "p" stands for "paragraph" and the "101" is the page number. From this, we know that we are to refer to the fourth paragraph on page 104 to find this line in context.

·         This will be a long task

In addition, we will go over the answers to this reading tomorrow.

IF YOU DID NOT FINISH THIS ASSIGNMENT BUT FINISHED A PAGE OF IT, I WILL ACCEPT THAT THE WORK YOU DID MATCHED THE TIME GIVEN; HOWEVER, THE MORE YOU DO THE MORE YOU LEARN.
