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.
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.

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.

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.
