BLACK DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today we continued working with notes and examples on similes and metaphors...we looked at ways "table tennis" is a metaphor for life within the context of HEROES. The assignment that was collected at the end of class involved you writing at least a half a page where you created a simile or metaphor of your choice...this was collected at the end of class!

COLLEGE PREP 12

We took the BEOWULF test today...you were allowed to use your notes

I then passed out a graphic organizer which gave a few examples of ways in which to construct a good compare or contrast papers....we discussed how important it is for you to a) organize this paper well and b) utilize the conventions/stereotypes of epic heroes that we discussed last week. The composition can be given to me either Wednesday or Friday. If you have questions about the paper, look back to last week's blog entry....then, if you are still having questions, come see me

I also passed out a couple of handouts you should keep somewhere safe: One was a writing rubric and the other contained some expectations involving writing in this class!
