2/24 A-2/27B
Work on independent reading and The Raven packet marking.
English III-2/29/12
Do not forget to bring in our 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.
What to do today-Please do not waste any time.
First 20 minutes-work on independent reading entries. If already done with R37-39, make sure you do not have another set you haven’t yet turned in. If done with all reading entries, work on brainstorming and writing you short story-see sub for Poe rubric and DO NOT LOSE if you take one.
Turn in R37-39 today to sub or if more comfortable, hold onto this assignment until I return. Make sure you have it when I ask for it if you choose this option.
Take out exit 19-10 minutes
If you haven’t turned it in, answer all questions AND proofread the answers. Make sure you have actually answered the questions completely. Turn in or if more comfortable hold onto this assignment until I return.
Take out the Raven packet-which I asked you not to lose and to make sure you had daily. 30 min. If your class hasn’t read the whole poem, finish reading silently to yourself. This poem has made a huge impact as there are allusions to the poem still today in band names, famous songs, in TV and in Literature. Try to figure out why this poem has impacted readers so greatly.
At the top or the poem packet it tells you how to mark the text. It is probably best to start with one device at a time and look throughout the whole poem for that device before you move on to another one. Look back at your notes if you struggle. You can ask your group members if you don’t understand a term, but do not work together on marking the packet. Remember you need to know how to use each of these devices and you should be able to mark them in this poem. Also other students will make mistakes, so do not copy them. Mark each device as directed. Do not kill yourself looking for similes.
When finished marking everything you can in the packet do the following with your group
-until end of class:
Understanding Poe’s allusions will help you make meaning of this poem. Remember an allusion is a reference to something well known in literature, the Bible, or History. These will probably be things you do not recognize and haven’t really heard of before. Lookup all allusions and take notes in the margin on each of your poems. Examples of some allusions are: books of lore, Pallas Athena, Plutonian’s shore, nepenthe, Aidenn, and more
If finished looking up all allusions, for each stanza (looks like a paragraph) summarize what you think is happening in the poem in one sentence or less. For example, look at the first stanza, I would say: While dozing off reading, the narrator gets a visitor. Keep your Raven packet for me to check when I return. Remember to have it in class daily. You can keep it in your workbook if needed.

Group Duty review with all groups. Each group asked about what their duty is and reminded to do it. It is part of the 20% grade.
Ms. Batten conferences with every student present about: wkbk check pg 53-59 marked text with key and could explain marking, Portfolio check- organized with all returned assignments in 4 dividers reading, writing, exit slips, assessments (Both of these assignments count toward the 20% assessment grade.)
Also each student was told all assignment they are missing, if any and given back assignment they could redo for more credit. All student encouraged to focus on the 80% assessment grade first.
While Ms. Batten is conferencing with students, groups were to:
Make a list of at least 10 obstacles a child in a 3rd world country might face that could stand in the way of their dreams. Groups were asked to elaborate the list so that it was clear what about each list item could prevent someone from achieving their dream. After finished with the first list, students were asked to make another list for an American child with the same dream. Again, they should list any obstacle that might stand in the way of an American achieving their dream. This list doesn't have to be as long.
1st block-Presented list
2nd block-Turn lists into basket-to review the next class.
5th block-Haven't started this yet.
Once finished with the group work, work independently at your desk on anything you are missing. Students asked to use the time to catch up if they are behind.

On page 53 of workbook, record the marking the text key:
Put a box around symbols, circle character names, underline important details/plot details, *unknown/unsure vocab words, put a squiggly line under diction.
Symbolism defined and explained to the class. Symbol is something that represents something larger than itself. Symbols can be revealed in stories through repetition, unusual placement or naming, words that don't look like they belong together, patterns in diction, long, drawn out or wordy descriptions of anything or anyone
Diction defined and explained to the class. Diction: author's choice of words used for an intended meaning,effect or atmosphere. These are words used on purpose. Students told to focus on words that the author uses which not just anyone would use here. For example in the first two lines, it says the pestilence was fatal and hideous. If fatal were substituted for harmful and hideous for unattractive, the sentence would lose meaning and change the atmosphere at the beginning of the story.
Another example,not in the story is: Shack and cabin are the same thing, if looked up in a dictionary. But shack would be the better choice to use in a scary story, whereas cabin would be wiser to use if telling about a family vacation.

Review-R19/R23 started. All exit slip questions reviewed in class. Stanton uses more emotion in her speech because she is speaking to women at a women's rights convention. Emotion would appeal to them the most because they are by nature more emotional than they are logical. Also, she wants to get them to feel something about women's rights because they've remained passive for so long. If she can get them to feel angry, neglected, abused, oppressed, then they should want to also stand up and join her cause. King uses more logical argument because his audience is the government or those who can and do make laws. Obviously he uses more logic because they are lawmakers, and should be very rational, logically thinking beings. Emotion wouldn't work as well on this audience, but he still uses it a bit to appeal to their human nature.
