English 11

Thanks to those of you who were able to attend the meeting today. It was good to see you all! Indeed, this is a strange platform but having some kind of human contact with your teacher is great.

Apologies for some of the technological hiccups; students shouldn't be unmuting themselves unless they are asking questions or we have an open discussion. This is all something I'll get straightened out for our next meeting.

Here's our work due Tuesday, May 12:

1. Download this comparison chart. Like always, if you can't use Word, simply use google docs and send me the completed work.
2. Fill in connections these characters have if we were to understand the text allegorically. You should also indicate the evidence that makes this connection likely - that is, how this character interacts with others and the environment could lead one to think that they represent something else entirely.
3. Finish chapter 6 and 7.

An allegory is an extended metaphor - this means that characters must represent something else - like a component of the psyche, our behaviour in isolation, or otherwise. You have all read Freud by now, which means you are in a position to consider.

Here is the PowerPoint we used during our session today.

DOUBLE ENTRY JOURNAL
This isn't due for a while yet. We must finish the novel before we do a DEJ. I have provided links below to help clarify my expectations for a DEJ for those of you who haven't made one for me yet.

1. Double Entry Journal Guide and Criteria
2. Question Types

For the double entry journal, find 4 quotes, and respond to them using the response guide at the bottom of the criteria sheet. Responses should be about a paragraph. At the bottom of the DEJ I ask that you design 3 questions. Use the question guide (#2), and make at least 2 of the 3 questions you design level 4 questions (on my own).
