For the first part of today's class you will have time to continue working on reading and answering the questions from yesterday. Here is the link to the text.
Questions:
1. What genre is this?
2. What is her point?
3. What advice does she give to parents?
4. What surprised you?
5. Can you make any personal connections to her point?
I noticed that in some cases people did not have the opportunity to finish answering the questions. In other cases, the questions were answered but not in complete sentences. If you are finished, read through your entry and make sure you answer each question in depth and use correct punctuation and grammar. On the English journal rubric you are graded on whether or not you show 'insightful thinking.'
If you are finished with the questions from yesterday, go back and work on the questions from Monday.
For the second part of today's class we will be reading "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. We are fast-fowarding ahead to 1930. Try to pull from what you are currently learning in your history class in order to understand the time period in which this was written.
Pay careful attention to Faulkner's use of sensory details! They are an important part of the plot!
