Quick check R16-Cnotes. Ms. Batten walks around to make sure all students have completed the plot, theme and irony notes as directed. If they haven't, she instructs them on what to fix or add. Any suggestions she makes will be looked for when she grades the cnotes. Do not submit them yet. We still have more terms to take notes on.
Exit 10 is past due. If you didn't submit exit 10 the last class, do so today.
Exit 9 is returned to class to fix. Universally a lot of students didn't answer the questions appropriately. See red notes below for how to fix exit 9. Submit fixes by 3/13. Time given in class to fix Exit 9 and resubmit.
Copy Exit 9-MORD (Masque of the Red Death)-16 pts. Due at end of reading, not this class.
1. What was Poe's purpose for writing M.O.R.D.? (2 pts) must be a complete sentence Make sure you included the purpose, its a complete thought and its why you think Poe wrote it. Do not just put to inform you, tell a story about, persuade you about the red death. He clearly didn't just write this to talk about a disease, so take it a step further.
2. Name 3 Gothic Elements present in this story. (Be specific) (3) must name specific story elements
Make sure you put how your elements are Gothic. For example, if I was giving you a Gothic Element of Dexter I might say. Psychotic killer: Dexter Morgan is a serial killer who kills other criminals. He is clearly insane. Some of you put elements that weren't Gothic, so explain how they are to me.
3. Name 2 symbols and what they might represent. (4) Make sure you think on symbolic level Some of you didn't think symbolically. So if you put a clock represents time, that's literal, not symbolic. If you put blood represents death or pain, again that is not symbolic, its literal. Also, make sure you put a word down for the symbol, not a phrase. So if you were telling me what the light post represents in Their Eyes Were Watching God, you wouldn't say, it represents the shining of the good things to come for the village, you would simply say, enlightenment.
4. Explain the significance of the 7 rooms. Be sure to mention each room in your response. (7) You must
mention each room and its significance in your response Make sure you actually give a significance first, then when describing the rooms, make sure they support that theory. For example if you said you thought the importance of the rooms was that they represent the 7 deadly sins, they for each color room, you must prove how that room is a deadly sin. Likewise, if you say, the rooms represent the stages of life, then each room should represent a stage of life. If you put royalty for purple, that wouldn't support either of the above theories.
Students reminded not to copy each others work. Exit slips and reading entries should never be copied or even given to someone to look at. Students have been copying exit slip answers and reading entries, and its obvious they have been. If you let someone else copy your work, you will not get credit for it. Is it worth it?
