Today's class was all about looking at close details in Chapters 8 and 9. Keep in mind that this is analysis at work - noticing the small details in a text that authors use to create even more meaning in the work. Your attention to detail will pay great dividends as you keep working through this novel to notice the layers of meaning.
Next class we'll take a bit of a break from Ellison - there's an article posted in the materials called "Just Walk on By: Black Men and the Public Space". We'll read and analyze this article next class to remind us of some key ideas in our course as well as build connections to the unit and spark a personal reflection.
Any and all assignments should be turned in. Keep in mind that paper resubmissions and vocabulary cards are due!
English 10
Today's class was for us to complete our third SOL essay of the year. This one was about driving and your position on changing the driving age to require new drivers be older. Remember that this assignment is the final large point assignment of the quarter. From there, additional time in class was for making up other assignments or reading in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. There are comprehension questions posted to help you with the reading and making sense of key ideas.
Next class we'll take time to begin an arts and crafts activity related to our novel and time to finish out the quarter. Keep pushing to meet your goals and we'll be on Spring Break soon!
