Fourth hour probably has an inkling of this, but we will be taking a week off from vocab to finish up syntax and begin our diction study. In addition, the next close reading club will meet this Wednesday, and we will be using an old AP Lang prompt for practice. After our close reading clubs, you are welcome to take any of the prompts home to practice writing as well.
1: We began with vocab experts, finishing off the 15 words, preparing for a review session tomorrow, prepping for a quiz over all of the words. We then completed your toolbox quiz #2, which is to help you practice identifying terms and taking sentences and breaking these down to determine their strategies. Remember, you may not know every historical, Biblical, or literary reference, but you can use context clues and phrasing to determine if an allusion is present. Last, we looked at samples of polysyndeton & asyndeton and how authors use this technique to suit their purpose. We will be using a sample test to break down syntax and rhetorical strategies tomorrow.
3: We began with the vocab quiz and then spent the rest of the hour looking at polysyndeton and asyndeton and other rhetorical strategies in The Reader excerpt.
4: We commenced with the rhetorical toolbox quiz #2, looked at samples of polysyndeton and asyndeton, and then practiced identifying strategies in The Reader excerpt, which we will finish up tomorrow.
7: We reviewed vocab, which means your quiz is tomorrow. Then, we completed toolbox quiz #2 and looked at examples of polysyndeton and asyndeton for tomorrow's reading excerpt.
