BLACK DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today in class, you were given the first 25 minutes to finish writing your composition:

" How does the character of Mikey fit the elements of an Epic Hero story?  Use at least three examples from the film that match up with your EPIC HERO ELEMENTS worksheet "

We began a list of O.W.Ls (ongoing writing list) of homonyms and commonly misused words...we will finish the list next time.....

COLLEGE ENGLISH

Today, we took time to work on either finishing the book OR writing your composition! Think about what your "philosopher" and The Count share in terms of their views on:

love
forgiveness
hatred
prejudice
inclusion
patience
belonging
pride
sorrow
resentment

A good opening paragraph/thesis statement might be something such as:

The Count of Monte Cristo and the band COLDPLAY share similar views on love, patience, and forgiveness...

or

Eric Cartman and The Count are very similar in how they deal with their enemies....
