Periods 1 and 2:
I have the privilege of introducing you to the rhetorical patterns of developments (modes) which, I believe, is one of the most important concepts for you to understand and own as a reader and writer because it will allow you to break from writing formulaically and think strategically.

After introducing you with these Slides, we use Bruno Mars' song "When I Was Your Man" to identify the multiple modes Mars uses in the song (in order to understand that, although we may attempt to write for a purpose using one "mode," they really overlap.

If absent, view Slides and attempt to annotate the Bruno Mars piece here. 

Periods 3 and 4:
Text: Fahrenheit 451, Pages 91-100
Objective: Explain what is revealed about society through the words of the women at Mildred’s party and describe their reaction to Montag’s poem.

If you are absent, here are the notebook prompts from today. As always, copy/paste into your Notebook and add to your table of contents.

Homework: Read "Dover Beach" and respond to the prompts. Again, you should copy/paste into your Notebook and add it to your table of contents.

Period 6:
Part I: Take the FINAL Form Assessment for The Pearl. It covers mainly chapters four through six.

If you are absent, you need to come to see me during Advisory to make up the final or you will receive a 0.

Part II: Notes for Chapter 6, The Pearl. As always, copy/paste to your Notebook, add to your table of contents.
