9/10

Today in class we did the following:
1. Gallery Walk: 3-D Projects
2. Discuss ZNH
3. First page choices: Eyes
4. EYES!

Homework:
1. Remember: you must have your elements/techniques defined with an example on your blog by Wednesday.
2. Vocab Test = FRIDAY
3. TONIGHT:
A. Read Their Eyes Were Watching God chapters 1 and 2 for tomorrow.
B. Write a journal on the following prompt. Your journal MUST include at least four quotations from the novel.
PROMPT: Identify two important choices Hurston makes in the first two chapters; these choices should be literary techniques. Then, for each choice, find examples (what), explain how Hurston treats the technique (how) and the effect of the technique. Your journal entry should NOT be in the form of a thesis but rather a few exploratory paragraphs. This assignment is meant to show your thought process, not necessarily be a summative assessment of your understanding of the text. That being said, to receive credit, you must show thoughtful, insightful work. 
REMEMBER: If your effect is cliche, I will cry (and not in an "oh you moved me to tears" way in an "oh I am angry" way).
**I know that some of you are still having trouble with your blogs. If you can't get the blog to work, you may email me your journal entry: amanning@ttsd.k12.or.us
