Monday, May 25 - Friday, May 29
Friday
Time was provided for everyone to finish reading the story The Adjuster and to plot the style changes in the story on the plot diagram. We also watched about 25 minutes of the documentary about Omar Kahdr that aired on the CBC last night.
Thursday
The date for the essay on the term 4 non-fiction novel has been set for next Tuesday and Wednesday. During Monday's class there will be some time dedicated to writing a plan for the essay. Today we reviewed basic essay structure and discussed how the non-fiction essay topics would fit with the essay structure. Afterwards, we returned to reading the short story The Adjuster and noting the style changes during the course of the story.
Wednesday
Today was the due date for the good copy of the paragraph about "Later they'll say..." We spent some time quickly reviewing the elements of plot for a short story and then we returned to the short story "The Adjustor." During reading of the story I asked that you identify the stylistic changes in the way the story is told as the plot progresses - this is to be done on the plot diagram that I handed out.
Tuesday
After I had given out the progress reports for this term, we had a team competition using the poetic terms and devices. Following that, we began a short story called "The Adjustor."
Monday
Today was the due date for the draft of the paragraph about "Later they will say..." We spent the class peer editing and proofreading because I am not going to edit this piece for you. I have seen great improvement in the insights and clarity of expression over this semester, so it is time for everyone to edit solo! The good copy of the paragraph is due on Wednesday, May 27.
