Where do we go...from here??

To answer a question  many of you have posed:  What's next?

Well, tomorrow we will finish up our works cited; you will resubmit your essays this weekend.

We will also begin a quick pair project--it involves literary devices and song lyrics.  It is the beginning of us really looking at literature like an author, instead of from our comfortable, well-worn seats as readers.

We will begin that tomorrow in class, but you are primarily on your own to get it done for Monday.

Teams will be assigned a literary term, and they will have to "teach" it to class when their time comes...and that time is whenever I feel like it: )

Seriously, though, you will publish your definition and examples for us all to follow by Monday morning.  We are essentially creating a class dictionary that will be a reference for the remainder of the year.  With it, we will spend hours doing fun things like logging our reading and figuring out not only what "text says," but also what "text does."  Oh, the good times we have in English.

Next week, while analyzing, we will also begin to look at narrative writing.  We will craft the narratives that will become our speeches.

Woo-hoo!!

See you tomorrow,

ME
