-long descriptions
-shifts/changes in the poem
Diction
On left On right
Take Diction Notes, List 2 patterns of diction in MORD and
Patterns in Diction, explain why the pattern was used
what diction reveals/importance
For the note portion: Diction is the word choice used by the author for a deeper purpose. When you are looking for diction, you are looking for words that author used that others may not have.
For example: shack and cabin have the same meaning, they are both small living corridors. But if I was an author and was writing a scary story, if I could only choose between those two words, I would use shack. If I was an author and was writing about a vacation home, and could only choose between those two words, I would choose cabin. Shack has a negative feeling or connotation, whereas cabin has a warm, comfortable feeling to it.
Patterns in diction: A pattern is when words used throughout the story or poem have a relation to one another or they are similar. It isn't when the same word is repeated, rather its when words are repeated that have some type of association.
For example: In Masque of the Red Death, there is a pattern of red. Red, Scarlet, blood, bleeding, etc. It carries throughout the story. The reason Poe may have used words that all are associated with red in a negative manner, might be to keep the Gothic mood alive and to keep the reader feeling uneasy. He also has patterns of light in parts of the story and a pattern of negativity associated with dreams. On pg 55 of your story, the first paragraph has many words that are light sources or describe light, such as light, candelabrum, braziers, firelight, etc. This is obviously a pattern. Perhaps they represent the glimmer of hope in the castle, perhaps they symbolize the remaining life or fading life in the castle. But there is obviously a reason he used this pattern. Dream has negative words associated with it on pg 56, line 98, such as stalked, writhed, stiff-frozen. If you ask yourself why are they referring to dreams in a negative way, you might stumble upon a deeper meaning. Perhaps dreams are painful, haunt the masqueraders and are stuck because they are stuck and can't really live out their dreams. A dream of future longings might become painful and scary if you were never going to be able to pursue that dream.
Allusion
On the left On the right
Take allusion notes List 1 allusion used in MORD
and explain why it was used/
how it contributes to the story
You can use the internet for this.
For note portion: An allusion is a reference to something well known. Allusions are used by authors to save time, to give the reader something to immediately connect with and for them to get immediate background information, without the author having to take time out to explain

Before reading, the class receives the visualizing problems and fixes worksheet. Everyone reviews, what students have been doing incorrectly with visualizing and how to fix it. Also class reviews many ways to use extra for the visualizing strategy. Refer to this worksheet to help you be more descriptive and use extra in a purposeful way. Also make sure you are using the correct sense, for example if you said " I see them talking in an angry way" you aren't using the right sense. If they are mostly describing the way they sound, that would be I hear, if they are mostly talking about their anger, that would be I feel.

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.

Verbal Irony: A person/character says one thing, but means another. Or, when the words make you imagine
something, but that isn’t the case.
§
AKA: Sarcasm, but
its not always sarcasm.
§
Ex: “You are in a
good mood today” to someone who is being rude.
§
Nicknaming a huge,
seven-foot tall football player “Tiny”
§
You eat a huge
meal and then go straight to the kitchen to get a bag of chips for a snack and

couldn’t wait to take it!”
Dramatic Irony: When the audience knows something that a character
does not
§

room is my favorite thing in the world.”
Deep down, you really hate cleaning your room. Which irony is this?
§
In the movie
Titanic the characters board the state of the art vessel with enthusiasm,
because they were the first to board this “unsinkable ship” and would be able
to relax, dine and enjoy themselves without having to worry about safety, such
as lifeboats. Which irony is this?
Write the type of irony found in each
example on the left side of your Cnotes. Also explain why it’s this type of
irony.
1. Michael Phelps,
a 16-time Olympic gold medalist, drowns.
2. Your sister’s

Read 20 minutes for R11-R12 Inferences pgs 60-80-A Prayer for Owen Meany. Due today in class. 80%. You've had 6 classes and over 16 days for this reading entry.
M & M 45. advocate-n,v
prefix: ad: to root: voc: to voice, speak suffix: ate: forms nouns and verbs
advocate: a person who speaks in support, to speak in support of a cause, organization etc.
Models:
Noun use:
The victim's advocate spoke out against the senseless crimes.
Verb use:
When one doesn't like something, they should advocate their feelings in an appropriate manner.
Write your own sentence using context clues. Ms. Batten walked around and checked sentences.
Finish Masque of the Red Death:
Audio continued starting with the description of the 7 rooms. Students asked to add colors to the diagram on pg 55, and with their group answer what the rooms represent providing support of why they feel this way. Class Discusses. Students continue to mark diction, repetition and symbols using the key established.
During discussion:
-Class discusses why everyone pauses at the striking of the clock and how the clock might symbolize death, their own inevitable deaths, reality
-the masks could represent denial-how they are in denial that they will eventually die from the Red Death or denial of whats going on in the world around them
-ebony was mentioned as a diction word used on purpose to indicate not only a dark color for the clock but also a peculiarity and the expensive taste of the prince
-the prince is seen as mad by others, but not his followers, most likely because to admit he is insane would be to admit they won't be able to escape
-dreams is used with diction such as stalked, writhed, stiff-frozen and stand. These are not pleasant words, so perhaps in the castle dreams are a negative thing, whereas typically we would desire them. They stalk because you cannot escape them, they writhe because they are painful, they are stiff-frozen because they stand still and the people in the castle will not move forward with them if locked in a castle, and they stand, because there is no chance for them to move one way or the other. These people are isolated and have planned to live out their days in the castle.
-There is a shift in the story on pg 57 with the chiming of midnight. This is where the masked figure of the Red Death appears.

Read 20 minutes- A Prayer for Owen Meany. Work on R11-R12 pgs 61-80. Due on 2/19, 2 more classes from now.
Copy new word. Words are different now, because only your 3rd and 6th block teacher are supposed to teach them. You will still take quizzes and only 5 words will be given per word set, rather than 20. This means it should be extra easy to pass quizzes now. We will no longer do the peer review, but students will need to learn from comments added to their papers by me and not continue to make the same mistakes. For example, If I say, not enough context clues, then the student should start using them.
43)Transgress (v.) Words 38-42, past due.
PREFIX: trans: through, across ROOT: gres: take steps, move around
Model: Some students seem to transgress often by constantly violating rules and procedures.

Ms. Batten reviews inferences for pages 40-60. For 40-50 she reviews the main idea with the class: Johnny's mom meets Dan Needham on the train and introduces him to her family. Then on page 40 and 41, several inferences are reviewed with the class to make sure they aren't skipping over things that could be written on their chart. The class reviews the main idea for 51-60: Johnny' visits his wild, crazy cousins, who is feels comfortable with. Then on pg 52 and 53, inferences are reviewed with the class which could have been recorded for R8-R9. This is meant to especially help those who have struggled submitting R8 or R9 or who didn't do them properly.
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
2. Name 3 Gothic Elements present in this story. (Be specific) (3) must name specific story elements
3. Name 2 symbols and what they might represent. (4) Make sure you think on symbolic level
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
Take out R13-MORD Packet-Students directed to label packet as R13 MORD and to make a key on their packet for how to mark the text:
*words you don't know
~~~~~ under diction and repetition
box around symbols
Ms. Batten reminds students of the meaning of diction.
Diction: word choice. Words authors use on purpose, when there are other words they could have used. In gothic fiction, you will definately see a lot of gloomy, depressing words which are a part of that diction.
Ex: shack vs. cabin
If I was writing a scary story, I would be more likely to use shack.
If I was writing a pleasant story about my childhood vacation spot, I would be more likely to use cabin.
Ms. Batten reveals the meaning of symbolism and the ways to spot it in the text.
Symbolism: when something represents something larger than itself
How to spot it:
-repetition (sometimes symbols are objects or ideas that repeat)
-unusual placement or unusual name
-words that don't belong together (like if I said Mr. Samson was steaming smoke from his forehead.) Sometimes this reveals a metaphor instead of a symbol.
-patterns in diction (like if words all associate with a color, lightness, darkness or are related some how)
-long, drawn out, wordy descriptions. (For example, in Their Eyes Were Watching God, the chapter all about the street lamp. You hear about the lamp so much, it is obviously a symbol)
Students read the first page of packet, pg 53 and mark the text using the key Ms. Batten has given to them. Class discusses first page.
Diction on first page mentioned: pestilence, fatal, hideous, profuse, termination, dauntless, sagacious
For explanation of why marked, look at the 1st and 2nd line "No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous." pestilence is used to reveal this is a plague, disease, not just an illness. Fatal is used to show that it is deadly. The author could have said harmful there. Hideous is used because the symptoms of the disease are horrifying and disgusting.
Symbols on first page mentioned:
Prince Prospero: marked because its an unusual name for a person. People aren't named after adjectives.
Red: pattern in diction reflects words that are associated with the color such as Red, Blood, bleeding, scarlet
Diction on 2nd page (54) mentioned: seclusion, girdled, ingress, egress, appliances, Beauty, security
Explanation: Girdled is unusual to use with a wall, so its obviously used on purpose. Ingess and Egress means entry and exit, so he could have just used those words. He uses these more sophisticated words to reflect the time period.
Possible Symbols on 2nd page (54) mentioned: The castle is constantly referred to using a similar pattern of diction referring to isolation such as seclusion, strong and lofty wall, gates of iron, welded the bolts. It is described in detail and mentioned many times how the castle isolates Prospero and his guests, so its most likely a symbol.
We will finish reading this story the next class. Make sure you have your packet with you.
Students reminded that Exit 8 will not be given more than 50% credit if submitted after 2/12. It was due 1/31 and is now 2 weeks past due. Exit slips cannot be turned in at any time, but should be submitted before the next Exit slip is given to students.
