Cindy & Her Purpose

While Cinderella is part of the princess culture and part of Orenstein's title regarding her deep dive into gender roles and their impact of young girls (and boys by connection), the actual character of Cinderella does not play much of a part in our look at the purpose, the why Orenstein writes her first chapter in "chunks" of ethos, exemplification, juxtaposition, and other methodology to convey the confusing realm of parenthood and its myriad of decisions that impact a child forever. Wow - that was a long sentence! In all classes, we started the process of identifying the purposes of the text, and each individual class has their assignment of the remaining text for purpose work. Make sure you have those purposes identified and ready to share. And if you were absent today, you should pick up a copy of the text a.s.a.p. to catch up on those purposes before your next class period.

1 & 4: We finished up vocab, which means review is next. Since the quarter is ending, we may just have the quiz after the review, but that will all depend on finishing up the second page of the syntax handout (with highlighting and identifying the types) and Cinderella Ate My Daughter, both of which are for homework. Can we top "to aggrandize" as a purpose infinitive?

3: We added to our vocab and practiced highlighting the various clauses and identifying the syntax types before our foray into Cinderella Ate My Daughter, which is reading for this evening along with the first page of the syntax handout.

7: We reviewed vocab, which means the quiz will be in the near future. After checking out how you did with identifying clauses and syntax on the second page of the handout, we commenced our look at Cinderella Ate My Daughter. Make sure to finish up identifying the purposes of our Cindy excerpt and complete the third page of the syntax handout.
