| Our new author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) |
- When I return on Tuesday, we will (Lord willing) have our binder check.
- Here are the requirements (under course documents)
- If you have been absent, scroll through the blog entries (or ask a friend) for grammar and notes to make up
- I will also be looking for the notes and journal you will work on while I'm gone.
- You need to enter a contest by Tuesday; here are some to choose from.
- You may print a screen shot or picture of your entry and put it in the essay section of your binder. I will see it and give you credit when I check your binders.
- Please work wisely into our Sherlock Holmes stories while I'm gone these two days.
- As long as I get a good report from the substitute, we will have a class party at the end of next week (quarter's end). Consider what you might like to bring to the feast (and how you might like to dress up). Here is my party page for ideas and instructions. You will not have a memorization (or other) quiz on that day; we already had our memorization quiz.
Your Assignment
- First, do section 5 of your PSAT.
- Second, read one Sherlock Holmes investigative adventure
- Third, read one G. K. Chesterton investigative adventure
- Finally, write one comparative journal (Journal 4)
- Compare the characterization, plot (exposition, complication, rising action, climax, falling actions), tone, and atmosphere of these two detective tales. You are applying all the terms you have learned thus far in your comparison. Your work must be handwritten, single-spaced, and at least one page in length. It is due when I check your binder on Tuesday.
Enrichment
- You may like to watch these videos at home for fun.
- PSAT complete and answers checked
- Binder in order (with new notes and the new journal in there)
- Contest entered with evidence in your binder (such as a printed screen-shot or picture)
- Journal 4
- Auf Wiedersehen!
