3/7B-3/8A

Take out all sub lesson plans, Raven packet, Poe checklist/rubric.

Do math equation on board: 5th to do 3/9
Answer:
If you only read in class, a minimum of 5 classes, you would have to read 6 pages per class to complete entries on time.
If you only read in class, a minimum of 5 classes, you would have 3.3 minutes to read each page.
If you read every day, instead of just in class, a minimum of 14 days, you would only have to read 2.3 pages per day.

Verbal Irony: Ms. Batten's class is so difficult because she makes us turn in reading entries where we have to read 30 pages in two weeks. That means we have to read a whopping 2 pgs per day. That is so hard to do. She expects way too much.

3/2 A-3/6 B

This lesson is to help you with today’s assignment, so read it. When I return next week, I expect to see all of this done. No excuses will be accepted. If you didn’t finish the plan from the last class, do it at home and bring back Tuesday. -Ms. B

Do not forget to bring in your own copy of Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston by next week. You will regret not bringing your own copy in as it will require more work. Also you get extra credit for bringing in your own book to mark. Also please continue to take care of group duties.

First 20 minutes-work on independent reading entries if behind. If already done with all reading entries, you’re awesome. Now take this time to work on your Poe story. Get a Poe checklist if you do not yet have one from Ms. Robinson. Only take one if you are serious about starting the story. Make sure you read through the checklist and rubric thoroughly.


Do the following as a group or by yourself. Be prepared to answer my questions about things in the packet. Do not work with anyone who will not be able to answer my questions. Open the packet and answer every question and fill out every chart. Use the information provided below to help.


Point of view:
First person: Story is told by a main character about themselves. Everything is through their perspective and readers can see the thoughts in their head only. Typically uses: I, me, my, mine
Second person: Story is told by an author speaking directly to the reader. This point-of-view is extremely rare as authors typically would not speak to readers. Second point of view is used in recipes and advice columns. Uses: you, your
Third person: An outsider tells the story about characters, but isn’t a part of the story at all. Typically uses: he, she, they. MORD was told in third person because the narrator wasn’t a character.

Tone: How the author feels about what they have written. Mood: How the author wants the reader to feel while reading. Remember tone and mood are not always the same. For example: In Southpark and The Simpsons, the writers use a lot of sarcasm and parody in which they make political statements or make fun of other shows or celebrities. Their tone could be viewed as: Sarcastic, Political But they simply want the audience to laugh, so the mood would be: humorous. Read the background to the Raven to help you find tone and mood. Also look at your diction words, as they help reveal mood.

For the definition portion,
look up each word and put it in words that you understand.

For Alliteration and how it relates to poem meaning
Ex: In lines 25-30, An abundance of words that use the sound d produces an alliteration that suggests the strong, rhythmical heartbeat of an excited person
For Rhyme
Ex: Throughout the poem Poe uses Lenore and nevermore. He probably used nevermore on purpose to rhyme with Lenore’s name because he would see her nevermore as the Raven states.
For Repetition
Ex: In line 4, rapping is repeated probably to emphasize that the speaker hears the sound over and over.
For Onomatopoeia
Ex: Muttered is used a couple of times to show the speaker is depressed and therefore doesn’t speak with confidence or excitement.

Complete the Simile, Metaphor, Personification, Allusion, Symbol and question portion-Each of you should have this packet finished as much as you can by Tuesday. Skip the Simpsons part for now.
