BRING ALL books to class the week of 12-9-12. We'll review in class a bit. The review will be MOST EFFECTIVE if everyone spends time looking for quotes to support potential questions...be prepared to SHARE in class...do not just TAKE from your peers. Only students prepared to SHARE, will be able to participate in the review discussion.
YOU WILL be expected to USE your book and cite COW (quotations and page numbers from the book ... think active reading, page numbers being asked for on homework, etc.) to demonstrate understanding of the literature we read as well as demonstrate understanding of citations and the writing process.
Books Needed:
Tuesdays With Morrie
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Maus I and Maus II
Brave New World
Literature Book (Short Stories)
Diaries (3)
Concepts to Know:
What is FOIL in literature? How is FOIL used in the stories we read?
Characterization: Dynamic, Static, Flat, and Round
Conflicts: Man vs Man, Man vs Self, Man vs Nature, Man vs Society
What does the Saint Augustine High School ESLR "Christian Gentleman" mean? How can characters we read this semester be examples of how to be a Christian Gentleman? Remember: one can learn from BOTH good and bad examples!
Themes to look for evidence in the stories:
Creating Your Own Culture, Fitting in and a Desire for Acceptance
The Power of literature to INFORM
The Power of Literature to ENTERTAIN
Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) said, "All men would be tyrants of they could". How do the stories we read support or refute this statement?
Are people a product of nature, nurture, or both?
A character's maturation/coming of age.
The role of technology influencing someone's life.
