I am back.
Students are reminded that this Friday any NHIs become zeroes for the purpose of reporting for Term One. This does not mean that they cannot hand in this work later, but as of Friday the report card will reflect the work finished and the skills they have shown.

For example, the toilet in The Help represents the white's lack of knowledge and their racism.
Students then read in their novels and working on the tasks.

Students transferred their information from one of their charts of comparison/contrast onto the Comparison/contrast Outline for a 5 paragraph essay (Brandon - students are choosing to use ONE of the charts from either "The Pin" or "Butcher Bird" You may want to just use "Butcher Bird" since you have access to it.) Some students were away for the Envirothon. For the last 30 minutes of class we went down to the library to begin looking for short stories to use with our Gallery Walk exercise (See Handout).

MONDAY SEPT. 15TH
Students first organized their portfolio folder with 3 sections - A , B, and C. Each divider has a list of what should be completed so far. Many students realized that they are missing some information. Students then built a comparison/contrast chart for "The Pin" comparing and/or contrasting Johnnie and Cecil B. in at least 4 ways with 2 quotes of support for each point ( If you said Johnny appreciated humour but his father did not, you would need a quote to prove he liked humour and one to prove his father did not). The class finished off this chart as well as the one from "Butcher Bird" and when finished used the time to catch up on missing/unfinished work from last week.

Author, title, and key word irony - check mark beside each.
Three points - number 1, 2 and 3
Quotes - put a, b, and c next to each.
Explanation of the USE of each - underline

1954 then read the poem "For the Death of 100 Whales" by Michael McClure (Handout tab).

Today we finished off the story and brainstormed a list of ironies from the story by breaking into groups and exchanging ideas. We then used the handout "Writing a Paragraph of Literary Response" and filled in the planner on the third page. The topic is "Discuss the uses of irony in 'The Code'. " We brainstormed the various uses of irony - entertainment, character development, create conflict, humour. On the planner your point will be the irony you found, the supporting text is a quote from the story, and the explanation will be which of the uses of irony each point uses.

We reviewed the Consonance/Assonance handout from last week. Most people are still trying to wrap their heads around this concept so we did the first page of a new handout on assonance (see Handout tab). We took the bolded term and circled the word without rhyme which still had assonance with the bolded word.
Next we watched the video below which showed irony. We made a t- chart which used What was Expected on the left and What Really Happened on the Left. We added 3 examples to this chart from the video below. For example: We expect an execution chamber to be dangerous BUT the chamber was closed because it was unsafe.

We then watched the power point presentation on Irony types and discussed what type each was. Unfortunately this Power Point will not load. Please ask to see it when you get back. We then read through Alannis Morrisette's lyrics for "Ironic"( http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/alanismorissette/ironic.html) and discussed which situations were actually ironic. These we added to our irony chart. We also discussed how we could take the situations and make them more ironic than they were. For example, rain on your wedding day might be ironic if you chose to be married in Mauii for the sun.
We read part of the short story "The Code" and wrote down the ironies on our chart. We will finish the story tomorrow in class and discuss irony as well as add it to the chart.
SORRY but I don't have electronic copies of this story. If you are missing, you will need to get a paper copy from me when you get back. Brandon you may choose an ironic short story from the Internet and make a list of ironies from it. You can use the Writing a Paragraph of Literary Response Handout from the Handouts tab to plan your paragraph.
