ORANGE DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today in class we wrote a story using conflict and at least one other literary device....if you need the directions that went along with this, come see me. The story was to be at least one page and it could be about whatever you wanted. There were some prompts in case you needed:

A day I'd like to relive

A day I'd like to forget

We all thought the house was haunted.....

All at once, the alarm went off......


COLLEGE ENGLISH

Today in class we finished going over the stereotypes and conventions of an EPIC HERO, and we even addressed the worksheet I gave you as "enrichment"...

We spent a bit of time going over the "formula" for writing a successful and clear compare/contrast composition...some model introductory paragraphs were written on the board...for example...

"Due to their ____, _____, and ____, it follows that Eric Cartman and Beowulf are very similar epic heroes."

I also passed out a sheet with a model of two pretty good examples of compositions from last year

A participation grade was given for your work today, as you had a good chunk of class to work on your paper!

Remember: Your paper is due the day you return from THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
