I know this will disappoint some of you, but after unit 16 vocab, we will take a brief moratorium on vocabulary while we finish up rhetorical analysis and transition into multiple choice and modes of discourse. Don't worry -- we will be back to vocab soon thereafter.
And, in another preview, tomorrow I will be assigned our Lucy books, the two full texts that we read in AP Lang. You will have 5 weeks to work on this assignment, and I hope you enjoy -- or at least have some sort of emotional reaction -- to reading about our protagonist.
1: We commenced with vocab experts, adding four more words to our list today. Then, you had a work day to complete the following items for tomorrow: the tone map for either Richard Cory or Miniver Cheevy (this includes a paragraph analysis on the back of your map) and the reading for content of "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale." You will need to understand the plot, the words, and the allusions for our analysis tomorrow. You are always welcome to start your analysis this evening in order to sound more the savant during class.
3: After vocab, you worked with a partner to share your EAR tone maps and compare and contrast the tones and features of one author's writing. After collection, you received two poems, "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale," which you will need to read for content and understanding of vocabulary and allusions. You are welcome to start analysis as well. Ideally, we will start working on this class tomorrow; however, we will start off with a team close read first. (The team close read was to be our next practice prompt, so you will just be a little ahead of the other classes.)
7: After our vocab quiz, you worked with a partner to analyze 2 stanzas of "To a Skylark," which you then shared with the class. We will work with "To a Nightingale" tomorrow, so if you did not complete your pre-reading, you have one more chance to do so prior to class tomorrow.
