1 & 3: We started the hour with vocabulary, first hour adding four new words, and third hour finishing vocab experts for this unit. Then, we wrapped up our syntax work with the official syntax quiz with sentences provided by seventh hour. Last, we read an excerpt from The Reader, pinpointing the use of syntax and the use of polysyndeton in the text. As mentioned by both hours, the polysyndeton occurs in the anticipation of the verdict and the overall audience perspective. In addition, the removal of polysyndeton allows for the juxtaposition of the overall audience reaction and the narrator's reaction, a member of the audience that has some personal connection to the woman on trial.
Tomorrow, we will have a team close read on the board -- which will then transfer to a small group writing assignment.
Diction week(s) starts after our team close read. You may not know exactly what that entails, but I know it revolves around my eternal love, John Keats.
7: We started vocab experts for unit 14 today. Afterwards, we reviewed syntax handout number two, which is the last practice before your syntax quiz tomorrow. Then, we looked at two syntactical strategies: polysyndeton and asyndeton and how these strategies reflect specific purposes.
