Mythology Prezi's Due!; Workshop

By -
Period 1: Lab.

Please complete your mythology Prezi's for our presentations on mythology. If you finish early, spend time working on your portfolio (portfolios are due the week of January 16!)

Portfolio ideas:

  • Create a comic book script of a hero's adventure
  • Recall a favorite childhood author (like Gaiman remembers Moorcock) and tell a story about how you came to find, fall in love, and how the author helped you cope with events in life (this can be an essay or fiction or poetry or script). 

Please SHARE your prezi with me at the comment link below to speed up presentation process.

Classroom:

Workshop. Let's finish workshopping your analysis papers. The Star Wars Analysis final draft is due in your portfolio by the end of the marking period. This is a required assignment for this class!

With time remaining, please continue working on draft projects, or, if both groups have finished workshopping, let's begin our mythology Prezi's.

HOMEWORK: Read "One Life: Furnished in Early Moorcock". If you did not deliver your prezi today, you will present your prezi Monday during class. Be prepared!

The Namesake Analysis/Discussion Chp. 1 & 2; How It Feels To Be Colored Me

Let's go back to examining  The Namesake , Chapter 1 this morning to continue examining the writing style going on here. Take a closer look at these passages: Pg. 3 (1st full paragraph) to 4 (end of 1st full paragraph): How is Ashima's character compared/contrasted with the American women in the hospital? What do you notice about the sentence structure of this paragraph? What does the use of dialogue in this paragraph provide for the reader? What literary devices do you notice? Can you find figurative language/metaphor/alliteration or other elements of imagery? How are the sentences similar to a contraction (the action in the scene)? Pg. 10-12: how is Ashoke's character presented? How does his story parallel or contrast with his wife's? How is Ashoke different from the other American men in the waiting room? What details do we learn about him?  Pg. 13-14: Nickolai Gogol and the short story "The Overcoat" is alluded to here. Just notice it for now. This al

Wilderness Tips - Examination & Analysis

Use period one to continue the story draft you started last class. Use your time to develop your ideas, theme, work on plot, character development, setting, and other aspects of your fiction writing. Remember, your story should include the following: Write a draft that includes a flashback . Consider an urban setting, but at some point in your story, move to a more natural setting. The setting should reflect the inner conflicts of your protagonist if possible. Avoid character cliches: surprise your reader (and possibly yourself or even your character) Include a secondary character who should act as a foil to the protagonist. Write in present tense ; (flashbacks can be written in past tense); Use 3rd person POV (limited, omniscient, objective). See the previous post for more details. Period 2: Let's discuss what we've read so far in the collection. Wilderness Tips is   Margaret Atwood’s second volume of short stories ( Bluebeard’s Egg and Other Stories (198
