Egad! Sorry I've been out sick and negligent in updating the blog. Somehow, coughing and sleeping have seemed to consume most of my free time lately. Here is the recap of this week, if needed:
Mon. 11/28: (w/ the sub) New vocab words were given, some time was given to wrap up and turn in Timed Essay Self-Assessment #1, then you were given "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" to read and think about in comparison to The Catcher in the Rye.
Tues. 11/29: Given a past timed-essay prompt I asked you create an outline of possible ways you could dig deeper into a comparison of the use of daydreams/imaginary scenarios in Catcher and Mitty.
Wed. 11/30: (w/ the sub, again) You were given some notes on types of Irony and the story "Genesis and Catastrophe" to read and consider regarding, you guessed it, irony.
Thurs. 12/1: Some of you shared your Holden/Mitty ideas, then you handed in your outlines. Then, we had a few minutes to begin identifying all three kinds of irony in "Genesis and Catastrophe".
Tomorrow, you will have a vocab quiz. Study your words.
