1. Hand in:
"LOTF Synthesis Essay" (worth 20 points)
2. Silent sustained reading
During SSR, I will check in student copies of Lord of the Flies
I will also hand out folders and pass back corrected work.
3. Today's poem:
"What Kind of Guy Was He" by Howard Nemerov
4. Assignment:
"Characterization #1" (handout)
We will discuss this handout and create a character as a class, but you will not actually write your own story until we do the "Characterization #2" activity on Thursday.
Discuss some of the characters in stories we have read in class and how the author used the techniques: Gene and Finny in A Separate Peace, Ralph, Simon, Piggy, Jack, or Roger in Lord of the Flies, Sylvia in A White Heron. For those of you who are in class tomorrow, we will read another story and notice the characterization techniques of the author.
