Today a TOC covered classes! Here are some notes about things coming up tomorrow.

English 10 (C block)
Today you should be done working with themes for some of Aesop's fables, as well as your second paragraph.

Note: There is no DEJ for chapter 9 and 10, but there will be a DEJ that covers the text as a whole. It is not due tomorrow.

English 12AP
My understanding is that today, you worked on a collaborative essay. It seemed like there were some challenges with this - and we'll discuss that tomorrow. Also, since tomorrow is Wednesday, please finish your 200 words about yourself (3rd person) to be submitted to Meghan for the book. Also, include a pretty picture. You could use one of the nice pictures taken for grad.

Tomorrow, we're going to read a short story and focus on extracting theme, also some question design on theme.

Other due dates to note: Typed revisions of your first essay and "final" copy of your first creative project. Friday March 4. Typed revisions will add 0.5 to your earned score. The creative project is only "final" as far as what I will mark. Here's what I need to see:

1. Indication that you are in control of the elements of fiction.
2. Layers of meaning established through figurative language, imagery, and the elements.
3. Emerging style through control of diction in prose/poetry.
4. Poetry: Use of form, rhythm, and meter in meaning making.
5. Prose: Control of sentence structure (inversion).
